The Insignificant Correlation between Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Incidence of Dementia Using an Extension Survival Cox Hazard Model and Propensity-Score Matching Analysis in a Retrospective, Population-Based Prostate Cancer Registry.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aims to evaluate the effect of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) on the incidence of dementia, after considering the time-dependent survival in patients with prostate cancer (PC) using a Korean population-based cancer registry database. After excluding patients with cerebrovascular disease and dementia before or within the 3-month-ADT and those with surgical castration, 9880 (19.3%) patients were matched into ADT and non-ADT groups using propensity-score matching (PSM) among 51,206 patients registered between 2006 and 2013. To define the significant relationship between ADT duration and the incidence of dementia, the extension Cox proportional hazard model was used with p-values < 0.05 regarded as statistically significant. The mean age and survival time were 67.3 years and 4.33 (standard deviation [SD] 2.16) years, respectively. A total of 2945 (9.3%) patients developed dementia during the study period, including Parkinson’s (11.0%), Alzheimer’s (42.6%), vascular (18.2%), and other types of dementia (28.2%). Despite PSM, the PC-treatment subtypes, survival rate, and incidence of dementia significantly differed between the ADT and non-ADT groups (p < 0.05), whereas the rate of each dementia subtype did not significantly differ (p = 0.069). A multivariate analysis for dementia incidence showed no significance of ADT type or use duration among patients with PC (p > 0.05), whereas old age, obesity, regional SEER stage, a history of cerebrovascular disease, and a high Charlson Comorbidity Index were significant factors for dementia (p < 0.05). Insignificant correlation was observed between ADT and the incidence of dementia based on the extension survival model with PSM among patients with PC.
