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

Prostate cancer with a massive pelvic lymph node metastasis is uncommon, and its optimal management remains uncertain. We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with a cT3aN1M0 prostate cancer and a 10 cm (175 cm³) pelvic lymph node metastasis. He received multimodal therapy consisting of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), seven cycles of docetaxel, and external beam radiotherapy. This approach led to marked regression of the nodal disease and sustained suppression of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to <0.01 ng/mL for longer than 14 months without additional systemic treatment. Although the therapeutic strategy deviated from current guideline-based recommendations, the case highlights that combining systemic therapy with radiotherapy can achieve durable disease control in selected patients with locally advanced prostate cancer and massive lymph node involvement.
