Efficacy of prostatectomy using a Retzius-sparing approach as an additional excision in anal canal carcinoma after brachytherapy for prostate adenocarcinoma.

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: Standard treatments for squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal include chemoradiotherapy and surgical resection. We report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal with prostate invasion treated with curative surgical methods using a Retzius-sparing robot-assisted approach. Case presentation: A 76-year-old male had undergone brachytherapy for prostate adenocarcinoma (cT2aN0M0). Nine years later, the patient was diagnosed with anal canal carcinoma (cT2N0M0) following the onset of anal pain. During a robot-assisted abdominoperineal resection, prostate invasion was suspected and a prostatectomy was performed as an additional excision of the prostate using a Retzius-sparing approach. Although an anastomotic leak was observed postoperatively, it was conservatively managed with bilateral ureteral stent placement. The patient remained recurrence-free after surgery. Conclusion: A Retzius-sparing robot-assisted approach in radical prostatectomy may be a safe and feasible option for cases of anal canal carcinoma with suspected prostate invasion.
