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

When localised prostate cancer recurs after treatment, it occurs predictably in sites such as the prostatic bed, pelvic lymph nodes, spine, lung, and liver. Urethral metastasis of prostate cancer is exceedingly rare. We report a case of urethral recurrence of prostate cancer presenting as new lower urinary tract symptoms in an 82-year-old male 10 years after robotic radical prostatectomy with a very low PSA level of 0.05μg/L. This rare case highlights the need to maintain a degree of suspicion for prostate cancer recurrence in patients with a late onset of or changing lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy.
