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

Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the association between the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score (GPS) assay and long-term outcomes in men with localized prostate cancer (PCa) after radiation therapy (RT). We hypothesized that the GPS assay is prognostic for biochemical failure (BCF), along with distant metastasis (DM) and PCa-specific mortality in patients with PCa receiving RT. Methods and Materials: We retrospectively studied men with localized PCa treated with definitive RT at Georgia Urology from 2010 to 2016. The primary objective was to assess the association between GPS results and time to BCF per the Phoenix criteria; we also assessed time to DM and PCa-specific mortality. We used Cox proportional hazards regression models for all analyses, with clinicopathologic covariates determined a priori for multivariable modeling. Results: A total of 450 patients (median age, 65 years; 35% Black) met eligibility criteria. There was a strong univariable association between GPS result and time to BCF (hazard ratio [HR] per 20-unit increase = 3.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.11-4.46; Conclusions: In a community-based cohort, the GPS assay was strongly prognostic for time to BCF as well as long-term outcomes in men treated with RT for localized PCa.
