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

introductionThe patients with prostate cancer and low-volume osseous metastases who underwent local definitive therapies had lower risks of cancer-specific mortality. The usefulness of local definitive therapy for metastatic prostate cancer remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old man visited a private hospital with a chief complaint of left lower limb pain. His serum prostate-specific antigen level was 365.156 ng/mL. Histological evaluation led to the initial diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of Gleason score 4 + 4 and clinical stage T3a N1 M1b. Although androgen deprivation therapy was performed, he developed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer 6 months after the initial treatment. Therefore, he received enzalutamide and attained a serum prostate-specific antigen level of 0.002 ng/mL 7 months after the second treatment. We performed robot-assisted radical prostatectomy 1 year after diagnosis. Histopathological examination revealed that prostate cancer cells disappeared into the prostate.

conclusionRobot-assisted radical prostatectomy in selected patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer may improve oncological outcomes.
