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

Malignant psoas syndrome is a rare and under-recognised entity with a life expectancy of months. Its presentation is characterised by refractory back pain, which is a red flag that should raise suspicion about the condition. We present a case of a man who presented with refractory back pain and bilateral hydronephrosis without hydroureter who had no evident initial obstruction and showed stent-placement failure. Three months later, a recurrence of colorectal cancer associated with malignant psoas syndrome was diagnosed. We review the current literature on malignant psoas syndrome and hydronephrosis in relation to the presentation of cancer.
