Review in Current oncology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of the reviewThis review paper is a comprehensive look at the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk that is associated with the use of androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer. It summarizes when certain cancer therapies are indicated and should guide physicians in identifying patients at increased risk for CVD during prostate cancer therapy. RECENT

findingsGnRH agonist use and maximal androgen blockade (MAB) are associated with increased CVD. This association is not observed in patients on GnRH antagonists. One example is the novel agent abiraterone, which is associated with hypertension whose mechanisms are likely driven by mineralocorticoid excess. Incidence of cardiovascular disease events is greatest when using MAB, especially in patients with pre-existing CVD. There is significant confounding that exists given patients with more aggressive cancers tend to be older and have more co-existing CVD. Given the lower CVD event rates with GnRH antagonists, future studies and strategies should focus on high-risk cancer patients with co-existing CVD receiving antagonists over agonists.
