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

Introduction: Recent studies have indicated an improvement in the survival rate of patients using docetaxel in addition to androgen deprivation therapy for high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Hepatorrhexis, characterized by the rupture of the liver, is a rare complication associated with chemotherapies. We report a case of hepatic metastases rupture during androgen deprivation therapy combined with upfront docetaxel chemotherapy. Case presentation: A 77-year-old man diagnosed with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer received an upfront docetaxel treatment combined with androgen deprivation therapy. Hepatic metastases rupture with substantial hemoperitoneum occurred on the 14th day of the fifth cycle of docetaxel chemotherapy. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed; however, despite receiving optimal supportive care, the patient died. Conclusion: The addition of upfront docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy may be effective in patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer; however, strict observation is required to monitor for the occurrence of rare complications, including hepatorrhexis.
