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

A 72-year-old man, who was under regular urological care, was diagnosed with advanced prostate carcinoma, based on a biopsy of a supraclavicular lymph node. Despite rising PSA levels, the patient had negative results on digital rectal examination, negative repeat prostate biopsy, and prostate MRI showed no signs suggestive of malignancy. A PSMA PET/CT scan, which was not indicated for the patient during the diagnostic proces, would have facilitated the diagnostic workup, particularly in detecting metastases. This case highlights the need for a broad diagnostic approach and the use of all available diagnostic methods in the diagnosis of malignant diseases.
