Recurrent Bilateral Strokes in a Patient Treated With Sipuleucel-T for Prostate Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sipuleucel-T is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Herein, we present a patient with recurrent bilateral embolic stroke who was on sipuleucel-T therapy for CRPC. Laboratory and imaging data didn't reveal any source of embolic stroke. A focused history disclosed that the patient received two doses of sipuleucel-T before the first stroke and was advised not to receive his third dose. He reported no other episode of stroke at the six-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of identifying sipuleucel-T as a potential cause of embolic stroke if the source is not detectable, as discontinuing the therapy can be beneficial. Physicians should evaluate patients for risk of stroke before starting the therapy to prevent future strokes.
