Paraneoplastic sensorimotor polyneuropathy in prostatic adenocarcinoma: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
rationaleParaneoplastic syndrome is a very rare syndrome among prostate cancer patients. In particular, paraneoplastic sensorimotor neuropathy has never been reported as a complication of prostatic adenocarcinoma. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 75-year-old man who was diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma with multiple metastases received cancer treatment. But, numbness and tingling sensations in both sides of the upper and lower limbs got progressively worse. DIAGNOSESE: He was diagnosed with positive anti-Hu antibodies paraneoplastic sensorimotor polyneuropathy caused by prostatic adenocarcinoma.
interventionsThe patient received physical therapy, occupational therapy, and opioid medication during 3 weeks at cancer rehabilitation department during 3 weeks. OUTCOMES: There was no improvement in functional outcome in this patient. But, the patient's neuropathic pain was improved by the use of opioid agents. LESSONS: This case report is the first to report anti-Hu antibody-positive paraneoplastic sensorimotor neuropathy in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
