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

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. Bone is by far the most common site for metastasis. The median survival of patients from the development of bone metastases is ~3 years. During this period, patients are at increased risk of skeletal-related events (SREs) including: intractable bone pain, pathological fractures and spinal-cord compression. Several novel bone-targeted agents including bisphosphonates, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) ligand monoclonal antibodies, endothelin receptor antagonists, bone-seeking radioisotopes, selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulators and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are now available and under evaluation in clinical trials in PC patients with bone metastases. This review article will provide an overview of the multiple emerging novel bone-targeted therapies in PC.
