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

Available reports of synchronous prostate and bladder cancer have exclusively described radical cystoprostatectomy with or without perioperative chemotherapy as the treatment of choice. There are no reports of curative intent or definitive chemoradiation therapy for synchronous primary bladder and primary prostate cancers. Small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare and aggressive tumor. We present the first case of synchronous mixed small cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder and adenocarcinoma of the prostate in a 70-year-old male who attained long-term survival after curative intent and definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy with minimal acute and late toxicities. The patient remained alive and disease-free at 41 months post-treatment and achieved excellent functional outcomes with organ preservation. Definitive chemoradiation therapy offers a safe and effective, curative-intent organ preservation treatment for localized synchronous prostate and bladder cancers.
