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 adenocarcinoma is the most common carcinoma in men. Cutaneous metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma, however, is rare, accounting for less than 1% of metastatic cutaneous carcinomas. This cutaneous spread most often occurs in the inguinal area and the penis, followed by the abdomen, head and neck, chest, extremities, and back. Metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma generally has a poor prognosis, emphasizing the importance of timely identification. We report a patient with an unusual clinicopathologic presentation of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma manifesting as a scaly plaque on the left shin. This lesion was histopathologically characterized by marked epidermotropism, squamous differentiation, and acantholytic features, with a negative reaction to prostate-specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase immunostains. When evaluating metastatic cutaneous carcinomas displaying epidermotropism and squamoid appearances or squamous differentiation, it is essential to maintain a high index of suspicion and inquire about a history of prostate carcinoma. This history is especially relevant if hormonal therapy was utilized as part of the patient's management.
