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 most commonly originates from the peripheral zone and is typically detected by elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. We present a 42-year-old man with progressive lower urinary tract symptoms and a PSA level within the normal range (1.45 ng/mL). Uroflowmetry demonstrated significant bladder outlet obstruction (Qmax 8 mL/s). Cystoscopy revealed a 2 cm bladder-neck mass, which was resected transurethrally. Histopathology confirmed prostatic adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 5 + 4 = 9. Multiparametric MRI showed a PI-RADS 4 lesion, and PSMA PET-CT demonstrated no metastasis. This case highlights that aggressive prostate cancer may present with normal PSA and mimic benign obstruction
