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

For advanced prostate cancer - not including intermittent strategies - the patient is in continual treatment. The effect of the therapy must be controlled so that its failure can be determined as soon as possible and a new regimen started. As in most cases the progression of the disease can not be stopped, the aim of the therapy is to provide the patient with the best possible quality of life. In order to carry out therapy, if possible in the patient's usual environment, supportive therapies should be used, such as compensation for anaemia or pain therapy as required. Skeletal complications can be prophylactically treated by the use of biphosphonates.
