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

A 78-year-old Japanese man who had undergone total prostatectomy for prostate cancer (pT3cN1M0, Gleason score 3 + 3) 20 years previously was referred to the Respiratory Medicine Department of our institution because of a 1-week history of chest pain and cough. Computed tomography showed multiple small nodules and mediastinal lymph node enlargement. Bronchoscopy revealed multiple soft polypoid masses and obstruction of the lingular segment. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations had increased markedly from 0.48 ng/mL in 2014 to 741 ng/mL in 2018. The diagnosis of prostatic cancer metastases was confirmed by revealing the presence of PSA via immunohistological staining of a bronchoscopically obtained biopsy of one of the masses. The patient had not been attending scheduled follow-up visits for the past 4 years. Treatment with degarelix (a gonadotropin-releasing hormone) was started, and the PSA concentration decreased dramatically (29 ng/mL). Metastases from prostate cancer are rarely first diagnosed two decades after radical prostatectomy. This patient illustrates the importance of obtaining a complete medical history.
