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

purposeLeptomeningeal disease in prostate adenocarcinoma is very rare. Solitary leptomeningeal recurrence from prostate adenocarcinoma has only been previously reported once in the published literature. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A 63-year-old man with high-risk prostate cancer was treated in a phase I-II trial with androgen deprivation, radiation therapy, and cytotoxic gene therapy. He initially had biochemical control but experienced solitary leptomeningeal recurrence 47 months after diagnosis.

resultsHe received androgen deprivation, radiation therapy to the lumbar and sacral spine, and stereotactic radiosurgery to 3 intracranial foci of disease. He died 14 months after leptomeningeal recurrence. Autopsy showed diffuse spinal leptomeningeal disease, leptomeningeal based intracranial lesions, and no other metastasis.

conclusionsThe cause for solitary leptomeningeal recurrence in this patient is unknown. Although there may be many possible mechanisms, we speculate that it could be related to his initial treatment with cytotoxic gene therapy along with radiation therapy and androgen deprivation.
