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

For metastatic carcinomas of the urinary bladder and prostate, systemic therapy is of primary importance. Due to technological advances in radiation oncology such as stereotactic radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, interstitial radiotherapy, and the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, pelvic irradiation can nowadays be carried out effectively and without the risk of major side effects. New data from other tumor entities and retrospective analyses suggest that the use of these technologies can lead to a clinical benefit in terms of improvement in quality of life, local control, and overall survival. For the time being, the decision to administer radiotherapy to the pelvic region should be made on an individual basis. Retrospective analyses of data from prostate carcinomas in particular are currently being planned. This review article introduces potential indications which are supported with real patient examples and discusses future developments giving an overview of the literature and referring to data from prospective randomized trials.
