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

This case report describes the novel use of ultrasound-guided MRI-fusion biopsy to sample an extraluminal perirectal mass. This is a 64-year-old man with a history of pT3N2b mucinous adenocarcinoma of the right colon with metastatic disease to the mesocolic lymph nodes. Two years after initial resection he was found on restaging CT to have a mass measuring ∼4.0 × 4.8 cm superior to the seminal vesicles. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) showed a moderately FDG avid soft tissue mass interposed between the prostate and the rectum. Multiparametric MRI revealed a 6.2 × 4.6 × 2.8 cm heterogeneous lobulated T2 hyperintense mass with enhancement just superior to the seminal vesicles. This mass was unable to be viewed using sigmoidoscopy. Using UroNAV technology, we were able to biopsy the mass in the clinic setting. Biopsy was confirmed as recurrent mucinous adenocarcinoma.
