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 report a case of post-operative local recurrence of castration-resistant prostate cancer with multiple bulky bladder invasions treated using external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) followed by a high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) boost. The EBRT dose was 46 Gy delivered in 23 fractions with intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the entire pelvis. The HDR-BT dose was 15 Gy delivered in 1 fraction using ultrasound, CT, and MRI-guided brachytherapy with 18 interstitial needles. We achieved excellent local control of cancer in the prostate bed and multiple bulky bladder invasions. EBRT plus HDR-BT boost can allow higher doses to be delivered than EBRT alone for locally recurrent bulky prostate cancer following prostatectomy.
