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

purposeWe studied the usefulness of

methodsPatients with BCR of PCa after radical surgery and/or radiotherapy with or without androgen-deprivation therapy were included in the study.

resultsFrom November 2015 to October 2017, 314 PCa patients with BCR were evaluated. Their median age was 70 years (range 44-92 years) and their median PSApet was 0.83 ng/ml (range 0.003-80.0 ng/ml).

conclusionWe confirmed the value of
