Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for radiorecurrent prostate cancer in a patient with a previous history of rectal cancer surgery.
Article in IJU case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Severe adhesions render salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy challenging in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer who have previously undergone colorectal cancer surgery. Case presentation: A 76-year-old Japanese man who had previously undergone low anterior resection for rectal cancer presented with an elevated prostate-specific antigen level, indicating a recurrence of prostate cancer that had been treated with intensity-modulated radiation and androgen deprivation therapies. During the salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection, severe adhesions were noted between the posterior aspect of the prostate and the intestine. The adhesions were successfully dissected under digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasound guidance. Conclusion: Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy after rectal cancer can be challenging. The use of transrectal ultrasound and digital rectal examination can facilitate the procedure. Screening for prostate cancer prior to colorectal cancer surgery could potentially allow for simultaneous resections.
