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

purposeRadical prostatectomy (RP) is relatively better oncological outcomes in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). However, the incidence of castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) and PCa-specific mortality in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after RP remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with CRPC after RP, in particular those who had metastases or not.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of 1582 consecutive patients who underwent RP between July 1996 and January 2019. The enrolled patients had histologically confirmed stage T1a-T3b PCa without lymph node involvement or distant metastasis. The endpoints were oncological outcomes, including CSS and BCR, in patients with PCa with or without metastases at the time of diagnosis with CRPC.

resultsA total of 1474 patients were enrolled in this study. By the end of the follow-up period, 352 patients (24.6%) in the enrolled patients had BCR after RP. A total of 42 patients (2.9%) developed CRPC and 18 (1.3%) had died of PCa. With regard to metastasis in patients who diagnosed CRPC, the 5-year CSS rate was 100% for nonmetastatic CRPC (nmCRPC) patients and 53.8% for metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) patients after RP. The 5-year CSS rate was 100% for nmCRPC patients and 27.1% for mCRPC patients after the diagnosis with CRPC.

conclusionsCRPC is one of the lethal causes with PCa death. However, nmCRPC may achieve relatively good prognosis in patients with PCa after RP.
