Rectal perforation following SpaceOAR placement combined with permanent prostate brachytherapy.

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: We report a case of rectal perforation following SpaceOAR placement utilized with iodine-125 low-dose-rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer. Case presentation: A 65-year-old patient with localized prostate cancer underwent SpaceOAR placement following LDR-BT. No significant issues occurred with the SpaceOAR procedure, and no abnormalities were found on the next day's T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Two weeks later, a colonoscopy was performed due to mucus stools revealing rectal perforation attributed to SpaceOAR. By maintaining Macrogol 4000 and a low residue diet, the perforation healed within 6 months. Conclusion: Rectal ulcers and perforations are the most common severe adverse events from SpaceOAR placement. Effective management strategies are crucial since complications can't be entirely avoided, even with skilled surgeons.
