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

Prostatic Basal Cell Carcinoma is an uncommon cancer that is different from most cancers because it does not usually have elevated PSA levels at presentation and is thus often diagnosed late. We report a case of a man who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and had an unremarkable PSA level. He was diagnosed by histological and immunohistochemical methods after a transurethral resection. After completing a radical prostatectomy along with a lymphadenectomy, he had no further evidence of disease at the end of 6 months follow-up. This case illustrates the role of immunohistochemistry and reinforces the surgical management of this tumor.
