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

Whereas prostate cancer was once deemed unresponsive to chemotherapy, there is now evidence that patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer can obtain a survival benefit from both first-line (docetaxel-based) and second-line (cabazitaxel-based) chemotherapy. The side effects of these agents have been shown to be predictable and manageable, particularly in North American centres. However, patient selection remains a key issue, with the aim of delivering each line of treatment at a time when the individual patient remains fit and well enough to tolerate a cytotoxic regimen. Hence, it is increasingly important for urologists and oncologists to work together to ensure timely consideration of the chemotherapeutic approach before it is precluded by a decline in performance status.
