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

We present two 85-year-old men, with a similar history of prostate cancer treated more than 10 years ago with radiotherapy, who were in remission, but sought medical care at a time, due to alarm sign and symptoms. Case 2 resulted in a locally advanced secondary radiation-induced sarcoma of the penile base. Case 1 suffered from a round, 2 cm soft-tissue lesion with spiculated borders at the ureterovesical junction responsible for ipsilateral iliac vein compression and urinary obstruction without proven biochemical prostate cancer relapse, raising concerns about recurrence or secondary tumour. Both patients followed an oncological geriatric assessment and were 'vulnerable' at their presentation. Hence, we describe the effort to perform medical care adequacy regarding patient's frailty and the anatomic locations within the prior radiation field. In case 2, we got a pathological diagnose and followed sequential multimodal treatments without success. But in case 1, minimal intervention resulted in improvement.
