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: To report a rare case of high-grade prostatic stromal sarcoma (PSS) and delineate its characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features to facilitate early detection and accurate diagnosis. Methods: A 55-year-old male presented with progressive dysuria. Preoperative multiparametric pelvic MRI was performed. The imaging findings were correlated with histopathology from a robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Results: MRI revealed a large, well-demarcated, encapsulated cystic-solid mass within the prostate. The solid components showed restricted diffusion. The cystic component contained multiple septations and demonstrated no diffusion restriction. An involvement nodule was identified in the right seminal vesicle. Histopathology confirmed high-grade prostatic stromal sarcoma with positive surgical margins. The patient experienced local recurrence within six months despite adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: Prostatic stromal sarcoma is a rare malignancy with distinct MRI features that can help differentiate it from more common prostatic neoplasms.
