Cardiovascular outcomes after curative prostate cancer treatment: A population-based cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Objective: To investigate differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality after radical prostatectomy or definitive radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Materials and methods: We used population-based data from the Cancer Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Patient Registry and the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry including 19 289 men ≤80 years diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer during 2010-2019. Patients were treated with radical prostatectomy or definitive radiotherapy. We used competing risk models to compare morbidity from overall CVD, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cerebral infarction, thromboembolism, and CVD-specific mortality for the overall cohort and stratified by prognostic risk groups. Results: After a median follow-up time of 5.4 years (IQR 4.6 years), there were no differences in adjusted rates of AMI, cerebral infarction, and CVD-specific death between radical prostatectomy and definitive radiotherapy in any of the prognostic risk groups. Rates of overall CVD (0.82; 95% CI 0.76-0.89) and thromboembolism (0.30; 95% CI 0.20-0.44) were lower for definitive radiotherapy than radical prostatectomy during the first year of follow-up. After this overall CVD rates (1.19; 95% CI 1.11-1.28) were consistently higher across all risk groups in patients treated with definitive radiotherapy, but there were no differences regarding thromboembolism. Conclusions: During the first years after treatment, no differences were found in rates of AMI, cerebral infarction, and CVD-specific death between radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy in any of the prognostic risk groups. This suggests that ADT use in combination with radiotherapy may not increase the risks of these outcomes in a curative setting. The increased overall CVD rate for definitive radiotherapy after the first year indicates a possible relationship between definitive radiotherapy and other CVDs than AMI and cerebral infarction.
