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

purposeTo assess whether the low incidence of severe neutropenia in castrated men with prostate cancer treated with docetaxel is the result of changes in systemic clearance. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 10 noncastrated and 20 castrated men with prostate cancer were studied to achieve 80% power (α = .05) to detect at least a 25% change in the clearance of docetaxel. The erythromycin breath test was evaluated to determine hepatic activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), the main docetaxel-metabolizing enzyme. Additional studies were performed in rats and transfected cells overexpressing human or rodent transporters.

resultsDocetaxel clearance was increased by approximately 100% in castrated men and was associated with a two-fold reduction in area under the curve (P = .0001), although hepatic activity of CYP3A4 was unchanged (P = .26). In rats, castration was associated with higher uptake of docetaxel in the liver and a concurrent increase in the expression of rOat2 (Slc22a7), an organic anion transporter that regulates, in part, the transfer of docetaxel from the circulation into hepatocytes.

conclusionIt is recommended that castration- and/or hormone-related changes in the clearance of oncology drugs should be considered as a possible risk factor for treatment failure.
