Local Treatment and Treatment-Related Adverse Effects Among Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer.
Article in JAMA network open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Importance: Recent data suggest that local treatment with radical prostatectomy or radiation may improve survival outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer. However, evidence is lacking on treatment-related adverse effects among men with advanced prostate cancer. Objective: To assess the association of local treatment on treatment-related adverse effects among men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study assessed men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer (defined as T4, N1, and/or M1 prostate cancer) between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2013, with follow-up through December 31, 2021, who were treated at Veterans Health Administration medical centers. Exposure: Local treatment with radical prostatectomy or radiation. Main Outcomes and Measures: Main outcomes were treatment-related adverse effects, including constitutional, gastrointestinal, pain, sexual function, and urinary function conditions, at 3 intervals after initial treatment (≤1 year, >1 to ≤2 years, and >2 to ≤5 years) after initial treatment. Results: This cohort study consisted of 5502 men (mean [SD] age, 68.7 [10.3] years) diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Of the cohort, 1705 men (31.0%) received local treatment. There was a high prevalence of adverse conditions in men receiving both local and nonlocal treatment, and these adverse conditions persisted for more than 2 years to 5 years or less after initial treatment. A total of 916 men (75.2%) with initial local treatment and 897 men (67.1%) with initial nonlocal treatment reported the presence of at least 1 adverse condition for more than 2 years to 5 years or less after initial treatment. In the first year, local treatment (vs nonlocal) was associated with adverse gastrointestinal (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.08; 95% CI, 3.06-5.45), pain (AOR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.35-1.83), sexual (AOR, 2.96; 95% CI, 2.42-3.62), and urinary (AOR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.90-2.66) conditions. Local treatment (without secondary treatment) remained significantly associated with adverse gastrointestinal (AOR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.52-3.77), sexual (AOR, 3.36; 95% CI, 2.56-4.41), and urinary (AOR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.09-1.78) conditions at more than 2 years to 5 years or less after treatment. Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study of men with advanced prostate cancer, local treatment was associated with persistent treatment-related adverse effects across multiple domains. These results suggest that patients and clinicians should consider the adverse effects of local treatment when making treatment decisions in the setting of advanced prostate cancer.
