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

backgroundDiagnoses of oligometastatic prostate cancer (PC) increased in the recent years thanks to the advancement in imaging and more effective systemic therapies. Here we evaluate the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in oligorecurrent and oligoprogressive PC.

methodsWe included patients with a maximum of five metastases diagnosed in a maximum of two target organs. Concomitant treatment with hormonal therapies or chemotherapies was allowed. End points of the present study were the outcome in terms of Local control of treated metastases (LC), out-field progression free survival, overall progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival.

resultsWe included in the analysis 64 patients treated on 90 metastases. Fifty (78.1%) patients were treated on lymph nodes, 2 (3.1%) patients simultaneously on lymph node and bone while 10 (15.7%) patients on bone only. Lung metastases were treated in 2 (3.1%) patients. Thirty-seven (57.81%) were without androgen deprivation therapy when treated with SBRT. Median follow-up was 15.2 months. Rates of LC at 6-, 12-, and 18- months were 94%, 88%, and 84%, respectively. Oligoprogressive patients compared to oligorecurrent (HR 9.10, P = 0.049) and prolongation of time from diagnosis of metastases to SBRT (HR 1.03, P = 0.047) were associated with worse LC. Median PFS was 6.6 months (range 1.1-42.4). Castration resistant patients experienced worse PFS compared to castration sensitive group (HR 2.12, P = 0.021).

conclusionsStereotactic body radiation therapy seems to be an effective treatment for metastases from PC. Prospective trials are necessary to better define selection of patients and to evaluate combination of SBRT and new systemic drugs in castration resistant patients.
