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

Every year in Germany approximately 12,000 men die of castration-resistant prostate cancer even though early detection using PSA-based diagnostics allows more patients to be diagnosed with a curable cancer. An established first line therapy at this stadium is docetaxel chemotherapy, given in a 3-week regimen, providing an overall survival advantage of 2 months. In 6-9 months, the patients treated primarily with docetaxel will progress to a docetaxel-insensitive phase which requires a secondary systemic therapy. Increasing understanding of molecular signal transduction has permitted a growing variety of promising modern drugs, including cabazitaxel, sipuleucel-T and abiraterone. More prospective clinical data will provide a large variety of different therapy combinations, sequence therapies or other therapy regimens particularly for selected subgroups of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
