Pleomorphic Giant Cell Carcinoma and Periurethral Abscess: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid malignancy in men in the UK. Pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma (PGCC) is a rare, aggressive variant of prostate adenocarcinoma. PGCC is associated with a poor prognosis and high Gleason-grade characteristics, often occurring in patients with a history of PCa treatment. This case report details the presentation of a 78-year-old male with a background of PCa, previously treated with radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy, who was initially diagnosed with a periurethral abscess. Despite initial treatment, the patient experienced recurrent symptoms, leading to further investigations and surgical intervention. Histopathological analysis of tissue samples revealed PGCC, highlighting the importance of considering this malignancy in cases of recurrent abscesses in patients with a history of PCa. This case underscores the necessity of early suspicion, prompt investigation, and multidisciplinary management in complex cases involving PGCC, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness of this rare pathology in clinical practice.
