Apalutamide: Emerging Therapy for Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
Review in Saudi pharmaceutical journal : SPJ : the official publication of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Prostate cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the US and the fourth most common cancer among Saudi males. Patients usually present with non-metastatic disease and treated with localized therapy. However, up to 40% of the patients will experience biochemical recurrence, within 10 years. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used in this setting to delay metastatic disease. Patients with high prostate-specific antigen (PSA), despite appropriate ADT, are diagnosed with castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). A subset of those patients will be presented with a shorter PSA doubling time (PSA-DT) ≤10 months. These patients are identified at higher risk for metastatic disease and death from prostate cancer, which represents a challenging dilemma where optimal management is unclear. Apalutamide was the first drug to get approved in the localized setting to delay metastatic disease from occurring. This review article will discuss the development, safety, and efficacy of apalutamide and its current place in therapy.
