Isolated Lung Metastasis Prostate Cancer.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and importance: Prostate cancer is the second most diagnosed malignancy (after lung cancer) in men worldwide. The most common site for metastasis of prostate cancer is bone (84%), followed by distant lymph nodes (10.6%), liver (10.2%), and lung being the least with 9.1%. Isolated lung metastasis is very rare and is present in less than 4.6% of metastatic prostate cancer. This is the first case of de novo isolated lung metastasis of prostate cancer in our setting. Case presentation: We report a case of an 81-year-old male of African ethnicity who was diagnosed with isolated lung metastasis prostate adenocarcinoma. The total prostate specific antigen at the time of diagnosis was 182 ng/ml and grade group 3. Clinical discussion: The prognosis of prostate cancer patients with pulmonary metastasis is reported to be limited. Prostate cancer patients with lung metastasis have median overall survival of approximately 19 months. Conclusion: Although isolated pulmonary metastasis is rare in prostate cancer, it should not be excluded especially in patients with perineural invasion; however, further investigations are required to exclude metastasis to other sites.
