An unusual association of adenocarcinoma and isolated tuberculosis of prostate gland.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Adenocarcinoma of prostate is the most common primary prostatic malignancy in the world. Isolated prostate tuberculosis is an uncommon type of tuberculosis. Concomitant occurrence of both conditions is extremely rare. We report two cases of adenocarcinoma and tuberculosis of the prostate. The patients were 83 and 74 years old, respectively. They presented obstructive and irritative symptoms of the lower urinary tract. The prostatic finding and prostate-specific antigen were abnormals. The diagnosis of prostatic tuberculosis and adenocarcinoma was made by histologic analysis after transurethral resection of prostate. The treatment is based on chemotherapy anti-tuberculosis and hormonotherapy. Tuberculosis and malignancy may co-exist in some cases and clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis, especially in patients from endemic areas, in order to initiate early and proper treatment.
