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

backgroundRecent advances in genetic sequencing and recent studies focusing on the broader use of Poly ADP Ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have led to an upsurge of interest in DNA repair mutations as they relate to prostate cancer.

methodsThis review outlines ongoing studies and recent publications as they relate to the prevalence and detection of DNA repair mutations in metastatic prostate cancer. The detection of these mutations through multiple diagnostic approaches is discussed, including germline sequencing, somatic sequencing, cell-free DNA assays, and circulating tumor cell assays. The clinical course of patients with prostate cancer and DNA repair gene mutations is explored in addition to therapeutic strategies for this population.

conclusionsIn men with metastatic prostate cancer, it is reasonable to obtain germline genetic sequencing as well as somatic tumor genomic sequencing to help guide further treatment decisions that may include PARP inhibitors or carboplatin in the future. In the future, in men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer with progression on PARP inhibitors, cell-free DNA sequencing may help elucidate mechanisms of resistance, which include reversion mutations.
