Review in Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMetastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in oligometastatic prostate cancer (omHSPC) is playing an increasingly important role in therapy with the aim of delaying disease progression, the start of systemic treatment or switching systemic treatment to improve the patient's overall prognosis. Molecular imaging as prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) imaging allows metastases to be detected with a higher sensitivity and specificity. This means that they can be detected early and made accessible for treatment.
resultsThe standard therapy for oligo-mHSPC is androgen deprivation (ADT), which is supplemented by novel hormonal therapeutics (NHT). A few small prospective trials have shown an extension of the ADT-free interval and progression-free survival (PFS), particularly in metachronous oligo-mHSPC, by MDT, usually radiotherapy. Additional ADT can further extend the PFS in particular. There are hardly any prospective data for synchronous oligo-mHSPC.
conclusionDespite the currently still poor evidence, MDT is playing an increasingly important role. The still unclear definition of oligometastasis and the large number of influencing factors make it difficult to compare current data. Large multicenter prospective data are still pending. It is also important to clarify the effect of limited ADT in combination with NHT in the treatment of synchronous and metachronous oligo-mHSPC with MDT. In synchronous oligo-mHSPC in particular, further benefit of additional local therapy of the primary in combination with MDT should also be investigated.
