1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 69-year-old man with prostatic cancer under palliative care developed isolated right-sided oculomotor nerve palsy with pupillary impairment and persistent ocular pain. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated metastasis of prostatic cancer to the right-sided cavernous sinus and orbital apex. In the English language literature, there are only six reported cases of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy secondary to prostatic cancer. In all cases, although there was metastatic lesion in the vicinity of the cavernous sinus, ocular pain did not develop. In the current patient, because metastatic tumour might involve the right-sided oculomotor nerve as well as lacrimal nerve, ocular pain developed.
