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

Granulomatous prostatitis (GP) is a rare form of chronic prostatitis with reported incidence of 0.65-1.5%. Radiological features of GP overlap with those of prostate adenocarcinoma. The following magnetic resonance imaging characteristics can suggest the diagnosis in an appropriate clinical setting: Diffuse or focal nodular low T2 signal, high signal on diffusion-weighted imaging with corresponding low apparent diffusion coefficient signal, and post-contrast imaging with lesion enhancement or rim-enhancing in the setting of caseous necrosis or abscess formation. Even with suspicion on imaging, the overlapping imaging features with prostate adenocarcinoma necessitate biopsy for confirmatory diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a 70-year-old man with GP in the setting of prior intravesicle bacillus Calmette-Guérin administration.
