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

Objectives: The aims of this study were to report an exceptionally rare case of Case: A 72-year-old man presented with PSA 982 ng/mL and extensive skeletal metastases. Prostate biopsy revealed mixed histology comprising small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (Gleason 5 + 5 = 10) in seven cores and adenocarcinoma (Gleason 5 + 4 = 9) in three cores (T3bN1M1). The patient received six cycles of cisplatin-etoposide chemotherapy combined with goserelin and apalutamide. Post-treatment evaluation demonstrated profound biochemical response with PSA declining to 0.90 ng/mL (99.9% reduction), pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) decreasing to 75.7 pg/mL, and testosterone suppressed to castrate levels. Imaging confirmed substantial lesion regression with no new metastases. The patient experienced dramatic clinical improvement and remains alive with controlled disease under ongoing androgen deprivation therapy. Conclusion: This represents the first reported case of
