Re-salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence of prostate cancer after salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy.
Article in IJU case reports, 2024. 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
Introduction: Salvage brachytherapy represents an effective treatment for local recurrence of prostate cancer after prior external beam radiotherapy. However, the optimal therapeutic strategies for local recurrence after salvage brachytherapy have not yet been determined. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 77-year-old man who underwent re-salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence after carbon ion radiotherapy and salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy. We performed re-salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy for the recurrence with a different type of seed, which resulted in a significant reduction in the prostate-specific antigen level. During the 35-month follow-up after re-salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy, no recurrence of prostate cancer and no severe radiation-related toxicities were observed. Conclusion: Our patient was successfully treated with re-salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence after salvage focal low-dose rate brachytherapy. This treatment strategy might be effective for such patients and is not associated with sexual dysfunction or severe adverse events.
