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

The androgen receptor (AR) is central to the initiation and progression of prostate cancer, even after castration. There has been some success in therapies targeting AR signaling which have been shown to extend survival in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Enzalutamide is a potent AR antagonist that was initially approved in 2012 for men with CRPC who had previously failed chemotherapy treatment with docetaxel. Herein, we reviewed 2 key manuscripts that have recently appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine regarding enzalutamide. The PREVAIL Phase 3 trial was designed to evaluate enzalutamide before chemotherapy in men with CRPC. The study illustrated that 65% of patients receiving enzalutamide had radiographic-progression free survival. There was a significant risk reduction of radiographic progression or death, compared with the placebo group. The enzalutamide group's median overall survival was 32.4 months vs. 30.2 months in the placebo group.
