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

Urosymphyseal fistulas are a rare but serious complication of prostate cancer treatment, particularly in patients with a history of pelvic radiotherapy. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the nonspecific nature of presenting symptoms. We report the case of a 67-year-old man who developed a urosymphyseal fistula following radiotherapy and multiple endoscopic bladder interventions. This report highlights the characteristic radiographic features observed on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Increased awareness of urosymphyseal fistulas, combined with the use of targeted imaging modalities, is essential for prompt diagnosis and effective management.
