The relationship between local recurrences and distant metastases in prostate cancer: can

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.
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
purposePrevious studies in prostate cancer (PCa) patients tried to correlate the onset of local recurrence (LR) with the development of distant metastases and formulated, based on theoretical and experimental data, hypotheses linking the two events. We aimed to address this issue with
methodsThis retrospective study included 491 PCa patients previously treated with radical prostatectomy who had undergone
resultsSeventy-two patients (14.7%) had evidence of LR at
conclusionWe found no differences in the rates of lymph node and bone metastases between patients with and without LR. An inverse time-dependent trend was observed in the frequency of LR on one side and of lymph node and bone metastases on the other side. These findings were discussed in relation to previous theories linking LR to distant metastases and our study design.
