Spinal cord compression in prostate cancer.
Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
Approximately 200,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994. While localized disease is potentially curable with surgery or radiation therapy, metastatic disease is incurable. The most frequent site of metastasis is bone. Spinal cord compression occurs in approximately 7% of men with prostate cancer. Back pain often heralds the diagnosis of spinal cord compression. In prostate cancer patients with back pain or signs of myelopathy or radiculopathy, plain radiographs of the spine and magnetic resonance imaging should be performed. Early diagnosis is of utmost importance. The neurologic status prior to treatment is the major determinant influencing outcome. Following diagnosis, corticosteroid therapy should begin immediately. Hormonal therapy should be instituted in those patients who have not previously undergone hormonal manipulation. The standard approach to definitive therapy is radiation. Surgical decompression plays a role in patients with severe myelopathy, spinal instability, and in those patients whose neurologic status deteriorates during or after radiation therapy.
