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 is one of the most common malignancies among men worldwide, and its incidence is also significant in Ecuador. This disease can present marked biological heterogeneity, particularly in advanced stages, such as metastatic and castration-resistant prostate cancer, which may influence both imaging findings and therapeutic decisions. We report an index case in Ecuador in which combined gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen (
