Extragastrointestinal stromal tumor of prostate.
Article in Urology annals. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that originate outside the GI tract are extremely uncommon. In this case report, we describe a GIST of primary origin in the prostate gland of an 84-year-old male who presented with severe urinary retention at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Diagnosis was based on patient history, radiological studies, pathologic findings, and immunohistochemical data. Digital rectal examination revealed a hugely enlarged prostate encroaching upon the rectal lumen with a smooth and firm surface. Transrectal ultrasound showed a markedly enlarged prostate with an estimated volume of 360 ml; prostate-specific antigen was 5.4 ng/ml. Immediate preoperative cystoscopy demonstrated only a moderate enlargement of the prostate, which was disproportionate to its actual size. Postoperative abdominal computed tomography showed residual prostatic tissue with an estimated weight of 78 g, multiple diffuse colonic diverticulosis, and scattered subcentimeter mesenteric lymph nodes. Histopathological examination of the prostatic tissue showed cellular spindle cell neoplastic proliferation which was diffusely positive for CD117 (c-kit), DOG1, and CD34. GISTs must be considered in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell tumors detected in the prostate.
