Clinical Course of Candidate Renal Transplant Recipients Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer During Pre-transplant Screening Test.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimOccasionally, candidate renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are incidentally diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) during pre-transplant screening examinations; however, their clinical course remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the clinical course of RTR diagnosed with PCa during pre-transplant screening tests. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween April 2008 and April 2022, 15 candidates for RTRs were newly diagnosed with PCa during the screening test. We analyzed the patients' treatment choices, initial treatment results, waiting duration for renal transplantation, and whether they finally underwent transplantation.
resultsThe median patient age was 64 years (range=52-75 years). The median prostate-specific antigen level was 6.9 ng/ml (5.2-56.9 ng/ml). According to D'Amico risk stratification, one, 10, and four patients were at low, intermediate, and high risk, respectively. As for treatment choice, 13 patients chose surgery. Moreover, intensity-modulated radiotherapy and hormone therapy were chosen by one patient each. Of these, seven patients underwent transplantation, with a median waiting time from initial treatment to transplantation of 20.3 months (9.2-40.0 months). One patient discontinued transplantation owing to poor cancer control, four patients had donor issues (change in mind, aging, or disease), and one patient waited because pathological findings revealed locally invasive cancer.
conclusionPCa diagnosis in candidate RTRs during the pre-transplant screening test impacts the candidate's clinical course.
