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

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, major congresses and many teaching opportunities as well as the usual visits from medical advisors of pharmaceutical firms have been postponed and canceled. The major trials of prostate cancer in the last 5 years in each state are shortly discussed providing a panoramic overview of the available evidence and data on prostate cancer treatment. Apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide have proven to have clinical benefits when added to androgen deprivation therapy for patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In patients in the metastatic hormone-sensitive setting, next to docetaxel, abiraterone, enzalutamide, and apalutamide have been shown to significantly improve overall survival and progression-free survival in comparison to standard hormone therapy. In addition, docetaxel abiraterone and enzalutamide are widely used in the metastatic setting. For second-line therapy of metastasized prostate cancer patients who have received either docetaxel or abiraterone or enzalutamide, olaparib, cabazitaxel, radium, and lutetium therapy have been shown to be beneficial in selected patient groups.
