De novo small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer: An atypical case presentation.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. 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
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma comprises less than 1 % of all prostate cancers. We report a case of a 62-year-old male who presented acutely with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including nocturia, but with normal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. A tender, stony-hard prostate on digital rectal examination (DRE) led to prostate biopsy and imaging. The biopsy confirmed neuroendocrine carcinoma, and chemotherapy was initiated. This case emphasizes the atypical presentation of neuroendocrine prostate cancer with acute, severe LUTS and rapid progression, underscoring the potential for missed diagnoses when PSA levels are normal.
