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

backgroundLutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen (

objectiveIn this retrospective cohort analysis, we aimed to identify features that are associated with response to radioligand therapy and greater survival based on analysis of real-world data. PATIENTS AND

methods191 patients aged 70 ± 8 years with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with radioligand therapy from November 2015 to February 2019 were included for analysis. Eligible patients had PSMA-expressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (confirmed by a

resultsMost individuals (89.5%) previously underwent first- and second-line systematic therapy. Of the 191 men treated with 452 cycles with mean injected activity of 6.1 ± 1.0 GBq per cycle, 159 patients were assessed for a biochemical response defined as a PSA decline ≥ 50% from baseline. A ≥ 50% PSA decline was observed in 89 (56%) patients, while any PSA decline occurred in 120 (75%) men. For the entire cohort, median values (interquartile range) of overall survival [n = 191], PSA progression-free survival [n = 132] and PET/CT progression-free survival were 12 (5-18), 4 (3-8) and 6 (3-10) months, respectively. Survival analysis confirmed better outcomes in individuals who had demonstrated therapy response. Predominantly lymph node metastatic disease and chemotherapy-naïve status were significant pre-therapy factors associated with longer survival. Baseline PSA was significantly linked to survival outcomes: lower levels predicted a lower risk of death and disease progression. Treatment-related adverse events included grade 3 or 4 haematological (12%), grade 1 or 2 renal (4.5%), and grade 3 or 4 clinical events (5.7%).
