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

backgroundBone formation markers c-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (1CTP) and peptides n-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP) were reported to be increased in patients with prostate cancer (PC) and bone metastases. The objective of the presented study was to investigate the utility of serum 1CTP and P1NP values in the diagnosis of bone metastases and in predicting oncological outcome in patients with PC.

methodsIn total, serum samples of 186 patients were included retrospectively including 53 (28.50%) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients and 133 (71.50%) PC-patients. The group of patients with PC consisted of 58 patients with non-metastatic PC (cM0) (43.61%) and 70 (52.63%) patients with bone metastases (cM1b). Serum 1CTP and P1NP were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results were compared to clinical variables including oncologic follow-up data by univariate and multivariate analyses.

resultsMedian 1CTP concentrations were significantly higher in patients with PC compared to the BPH group [5.08 (range, 1.73-158.00)

conclusionsThe present study confirms that increased levels of 1CTP and P1NP concentrations are associated with presence of metastatic disease in the bone. Moreover, these markers are able to predict clinical course in PC patients with bone metastases. The potential use of these markers for treatment selection in advanced PC remains to be determined.
