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

purposeTo assess early tumor response with quantitated SPECT/CT and to correlate it with clinical outcome in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with

methodsSingle-center, observational study, part of the prospective Swiss national cancer registry study investigating the safety and efficacy of [

resultsBetween 07/2020 and 04/2022, 111 patients were screened and 73 finally included in the data analysis. The median follow-up was 8.9 months (range 1.4-26.6 months). Stable or decreased TTV at cycle 2 was associated with longer OS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.09-0.86, p < 0.01). Similar, stable, or decreased PSA was associated with longer OS (HR 0.21; CI 0.07-0.62, p < 0.01) and PSA-PFS (HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.16-0.72, p < 0.01). Combining TTV and PSA will result in an augmented prognostic value for OS (HR 0.09; CI 0.01-0.63; p < 0.01) and for PSA-PFS (HR 0.11; CI 0.02-0.68; p < 0.01). A reduction of SUVmax or SUVmean was not prognostically relevant, neither for OS (p 0.88 and 0.7) nor for PSA-PFS (p 0.73 and 0.62, respectively).
