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

Biodegradable hydrogel-based matrices are becoming more widely utilized for a variety of medical applications, including SpaceOAR which is a hydrogel injected into the recto-prostatic space under ultrasound guidance to protect the rectum during prostate radiation therapy. Although a greater number of these procedures are being performed, there are no case reports on the potential complications which may result. In this report, we present the first case of retrograde embolization of SpaceOAR hydrogel into the right common iliac artery during routine office administration, as well as subsequent interventional angiography, inpatient and outpatient management, and clinical and imaging results at 1.5-month patient follow-up.
