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

Leimyosarcomas arising from the stroma of the prostate are very rare, accounting for 0.1% of malignancies. We describe a case that closely mimicked benign prostatic hypertrophy on magnetic resonance imaging. Due to the low incidence of disease there is no high level evidence for management. We advocate neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed by radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. Diagnosis and expedient management is critical.
