Seminal Vesicle Treatment for Localized Prostate Cancer Treated with External Beam Radiotherapy.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2023. 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
This study retrospectively reviewed data from men with localized prostate cancer treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). We identified 359 men with localized prostate cancer treated with curative EBRT at the Cross Cancer Institute between 2010-2011. The volume of seminal vesicles (SVs) treated as well as dose values were extracted. These volumes were compared to gold standard contours drawn by a trained expert based on consensus European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) contouring guidelines. Patient and tumor characteristics were extracted for these patients. Memorial Sloan Kettering prostate cancer nomogram was used to assign a predicted risk of SV involvement for each patient based on baseline tumor characteristics. In patients with a predicted risk of SV involvement greater than 15% (
