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

introductionAlthough myeloid growth factors are commonly used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), the optimal timing of administration has not been well studied. We assessed the effects of same-day pegfilgrastim, a neutrophil stimulator, after cabazitaxel treatment with or without carboplatin in patients with mCRPC. We also evaluated the frequency of urinary tract inflammation during treatment. PATIENTS AND

methodsBetween September 2010 and September 2014, 151 consecutive patients with mCRPC underwent cabazitaxel treatment with or without the addition of carboplatin at a single institution. We assessed absolute neutrophil count recovery, incidence of neutropenia, neutropenic fever, antibiotic usage, treatment delays or discontinuation, dose reduction, and hospitalization with pegfilgrastim administration. Radiologists blinded to therapy reviewed computed tomography scans to detect urinary tract inflammation.

resultsThe median patient age was 69 years (range, 41-88 years); 78% of patients were white, and 54% had a Gleason score ≥ 9. Median overall survival was 9 months (95% confidence interval, 8-11 months). One patient (< 1%) had neutropenia; 38 patients (25%) had infection. During cycle 1, a significantly higher proportion of patients receiving pegfilgrastim after 24 hours developed infection than did those receiving pegfilgrastim the same day (26% vs. 6%; P = .01).

conclusionSame-day pegfilgrastim administration after cabazitaxel treatment with or without carboplatin in patients with mCRPC is feasible. The urinary tract inflammation rate (21%) was higher than that reported anecdotally. Results need to be prospectively validated.
