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

BACKGROUND/

aimVintage hormone therapy for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) is not recommended under the current guidelines, but is widely practiced in Japan. This study assessed effectiveness of vintage hormone therapy as alternative androgen deprivation therapy (AADT) for treatment of nmCRPC. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this retrospective study we examined patients with nmCRPC that received vintage hormone therapy as AADT between 1999 and 2018.

resultsOf 53 patients with nmCRPC, 25 patients (47.2%) had stage 1 nodal disease (N1) at diagnosis of nmCRPC. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) reduction rate≥30% was observed in 32 patients (72.7%). The median PSA nadir was 0.7, and the duration of the response was 14.3 months. The median metastasis-free survival (MFS) for the entire patient population was 62.2 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. In the multivariate analysis, the duration of response in AADT>18 months was a predictor of prolonged OS.

conclusionThere is a certain number of nmCRPC patients who respond well to vintage hormone therapy as AADT. Further studies are expected to differentiate such cases.
