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

The validated 17-gene Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score® (GPS™) assay risk-stratifies prostate-cancer patients with localized disease. The assay has primarily been utilized in lower risk patients deciding between active surveillance versus definitive therapy. In this retrospective cohort study, we analyze the association of the GPS result with time to biochemical recurrence post-prostatectomy in patients with National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) intermediate and higher risk prostate cancer. The 141 patients included in the study were from the NorthShore University HealthSystem diagnosed 2014-2019 with NCCN intermediate (n = 109) or higher risk (n = 32) prostate cancer, treated with radical prostatectomy 2015-2019. The association of GPS result with time to biochemical recurrence was evaluated using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models in 120 patients with unfavorable intermediate or higher risk. Median (interquartile range) follow-up time was 28 (20 to 38) months. The GPS result was significantly associated with time to biochemical recurrence as both a continuous and dichotomous variable in univariable (hazard ratio [HR] per 20 GPS units 2.36, 95% CI 1.45-3.80, p < 0.001; HR for GPS result 41-100 vs 0-40 3.28, 95% CI 1.61-7.19, p < 0.001) and in multivariable models accounting for NCCN risk group (HR per 20 GPS units 2.14, 95% CI 1.31-3.46, p = 0.003; HR for GPS result 41-100 vs 0-40 3.00, 95% CI 1.43-6.72, p = 0.003) or biopsy Gleason Score and diagnostic PSA or PSA density. These results indicate that the GPS assay was a strong predictor of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in this unfavorable intermediate and higher risk prostate cancer patient population.
