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

backgroundDifferent practices for the treatment of prostate cancer patients exist in Germany.

objectivesThe aim of this analysis was to investigate current practice for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer in urological IQUO partner practices (Interest Group for Quality Assurance in the Work of Office-based Uro-oncologists in Germany) dependent on tumor stage and risk factors. The analysis focused on T1/T2 and T3/T4 patients. In addition, applied therapies were analyzed based on risk group classification (CAPRIS, cancer of the prostate identification screening). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional analysis includes 1000 patients with prostate cancer with at least 12 months of documentation from the OnkoDataMed (ODM) database between February 2008 and May 2012. The 122 IQUO medical practices included were randomly selected; maximally 50 patients per practice were included in the analysis. The database was analyzed in terms of localized T1/T2 tumors and advanced T3/T4 tumors. Risk groups were formed according to parameters of the initial diagnosis including PSA value, tumor stage, and Gleason score. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyze all parameters. RESULTS AND

conclusionsAs expected, PSA is the critical parameter for follow-up and therapy monitoring. Newer therapeutic options have only been initiated to a limited extent. Differentiated risk assessment has not been sufficiently used; however, it does provide a good opportunity for more individualized therapy in the future.
