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.

resultsFor the ∆TLP thresholds -30%/+30% (and also for higher thresholds, -40%/+40% or -50%/+50%), significant differences between all three response categories became apparent (PR/PD: p = 0.001; PR/SD: p = 0.001; SD/PD: p = 0.018). Including the development of new metastases as independent criterion of PD, there was no significant difference in OS between SD and PD (p = 0.455), neither when applied in combination with TLP (p = 0.191). Similarly, significant differentiation between SD and PD was not achieved by PSA serum value (p = 0.973).

conclusionIn the largest monocentric study to date, TLP is shown to be a qualified prognostic biomarker, applying ∆TLP thresholds of -30%/+30%. It significantly differentiated between PR, SD, and PD, whereas other response criteria did not differentiate SD vs. PD. Using TLP, the development of new metastases is not a required information for predicting OS.
