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

The treatment of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy and salvage pelvic irradiation, has no consensus in the literature. A surgical approach is possible, the main benefit of which is delaying an androgen blockade. We present a patient who evolved with local recurrence in this scenario. He underwent a salvage robotic surgery. The surgical planning included anatomical reconstruction in a virtual three-dimensional model. There is no standard therapeutic modality. Few studies have looked at stereotactic radiotherapy and surgery, whose main benefits have been delaying the need for androgen blockade and metastatic progression. Salvage surgery presented encouraging short-term results and lower toxicity.
