Both sides of the scalpel: the patient and the surgeon view.
Article in Nature reviews. Urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
As clinicians and surgeons, the experience of prostate cancer is one that happens on an almost daily basis. We are used to the feeling of making a diagnosis, to reassuring our patients, to the calm and sterility of an operating theatre, and to the worry of waiting for pathology results. For our patients, this experience is new and often terrifying, and only rarely do we consider the two experiences - doctor and patient - together. If we are to ask a patient to tell their story in writing, there are few people who are better placed to do so than one who does this professionally and who has done so for the best part of four decades. In this Viewpoint, Stephen Fry describes his prostate cancer journey from initial concerns through diagnosis and surgery to follow-up, alongside the same story told by his surgeon, Ben Challacombe. Thus, this unique article reminds us that the same events provide a different experience for patient and surgeon and enables us to consider both sides of the scalpel.
