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

objectiveCytoreductive radical prostatectomy (cRP) has been proposed as local treatment option in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) to prevent local complications and potentially improve oncological outcomes. In this study, we examined the feasibility of a multimodal concept with primary chemohormonal therapy followed by cRP and analyzed prostate size reduction under systemic treatment, postoperative complication rates, as well as early postoperative continence.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 38 patients with mHSPC underwent cRP after primary chemohormonal therapy (3-monthly luteinising hormone-releasing hormone-analogue + six cycles 3-weekly docetaxel 75 mg/m

resultsOverall, 10 (26%) patients had high volume and 28 (74%) patients had low volume disease at diagnosis, according to CHAARTED definition. Median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decreased from 65 ng/mL (interquartile range [IQR] 35.0-124.5 ng/mL) pre-chemotherapy to 1 ng/mL (IQR 0.3-1.7 ng/mL) post-chemotherapy. Prostate gland volume was significantly reduced by a median of 50% (IQR 29%-56%) under chemohormonal therapy (

conclusionWe observed a reduction of prostate volume under chemohormonal therapy going along with a low postoperative complication and high early continence rate. However, the oncologic benefit from cRP is still under evaluation.
