Cytoreductive robot-assisted prostatectomy for systemic prostate rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as urinary retention.
Article in IJU case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionIn adults, rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate is extremely rare and has an unfavorable prognosis. These patients frequently experience urinary obstruction, and cysto-prostatectomy is a mainstay treatment for localized disease. In contrast, treatment strategies for the primary site for metastatic disease remain controversial. To our knowledge, robot-assisted surgery for the primary tumor has not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old man complained of dysuria. Magnetic resonance imaging showed enlarged prostate and computed tomography revealed a pulmonary metastasis. Transurethral resection of the prostate led to the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma. After chemotherapy, robot-assisted prostatectomy was performed to relieve obstructive urinary symptoms. Although disease progression in the metastatic site was observed after the surgery, urinary obstruction did not occur and quality of life was well maintained.
conclusionRobot-assisted prostatectomy may be beneficial both for local disease control and palliation of voiding impairment among selected patients with systemic rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate.
