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

backgroundA growing number of treatment options exist to treat metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and with these newer options, many questions about optimising treatment remain unanswered. One recommendation that may potentially be overlooked by practitioners is that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) should be maintained when CRPC develops and when treatment with any of the newer agents is initiated.

aimHowever, to emphasise this recommendation, it is valuable to interrogate the evidence for maintaining ADT in different clinical situations. OUTCOME: This statement, reflecting the views of the authors, provides a discussion of this evidence and the rationale behind the recommendation that ADT should be continued in CRPC.
