Case of prostate stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential where positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose was useful for surgical planning.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential of the prostate is a rare tumour with a variable clinical behaviour ranging from incidentally detected indolent tumours that never progress, to aggressive diseases almost identical to sarcomas that may invade surrounding organs or develop metastases. Surgical excision is generally recommended for local diseases; however, owing to its diverse clinical outcomes, optimal management may vary from surgery alone to wide excision combined with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of the malignant potential of the disease is essential to decide the treatment strategy. Herein, we report a case of stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential successfully treated with minimally invasive robot-assisted radical prostatectomy alone under the diagnosis of the disease with low malignant potential based on the findings of positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose.
