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

Introduction: Histological outcome of the targeted focal therapy is in principle confirmed by targeted needle biopsy from the treated area in clinical trial. Herein, we report a rare case in which the MFT was followed by RARP. Case presentation: A 68-year-old man with PSA 9.6 ng/mL and PI-RADS 4 lesion in the right transition zone on multi-parametric MRI underwent MR/ultrasound fusion-guided targeted biopsy, which revealed grade-group 1 cancer. Targeted focal therapy with microwave ablation was performed, resulting in disappearance of the PI-RADS 4 lesion at post-operative 4 months. However, PSA rose to 11.5 ng/mL, and a new PI-RADS 4 lesion, was identified in the left peripheral zone. RARP was performed to reveal new grade-group 3 cancer, and no viable cells in the previously treated area with MFT. Conclusion: RARP was safely performed even after MFT and proved the pathological complete response of microwave ablation.
