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

Testicular metastasis is an uncommon complication of prostate cancer and therefore the incidence is poorly understood with the literature citing a range of incidence from 0.18% to 4%. This case report looks at a novel case of prostate cancer with testicular metastasis following good response to treatment for primary prostate cancer. The testicular lesion was found incidentally on surveillance PSMA PET CT, investigated with ultrasound and initially identified as epididymo-orchitis. The testicular lesion was later discovered on repeat imaging to be malignant in origin. Following orchidectomy it was confirmed histologically that the testicular mass was prostate in origin.
