Homologous Recombination Repair Testing Patterns and Outcomes in mCRPC by Alteration Status and Race.
Article in ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Alterations in DNA damage repair genes in advanced prostate cancer (PC) may impact responses to therapy and clinical outcomes. This study described homologous recombination repair (HRR) testing patterns and clinical outcomes among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) by HRR alteration status and race in the United States (US). Methods: Clinical data in the nationwide (US-based) Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine, Inc. (FMI) Metastatic PC Clinico-Genomic Database were evaluated (01/01/2011-12/31/2022). Patients initiating first-line (1L) mCRPC therapy on or after mCRPC diagnosis were included. Testing patterns, time-to-next treatment, overall survival (OS), and time-to-prostate specific antigen response were described. Results: Of the 1367 patients with mCRPC and at least one HRR panel test prior to or on the date of 1L mCRPC therapy initiation, 332 (24.3%) were HRR positive (White patients: n = 219 [66.0%]; Black patients: n = 37 [11.1%]) and 1035 (75.7%) were HRR negative (White patients: n = 702 [67.8%]; Black patients: n = 84 [8.1%]). The mean time between first positive test and 1L mCRPC therapy initiation date was 588 days (White patients: 589 days; Black patients: 639 days). Among HRR positive relative to negative patients, trends for faster progression (respective 12-month rate overall: 71.1% and 63.7%; White patients: 72.5% and 64.0%; Black patients: 65.4% and 56.4%), shorter OS (respective 24-month rate overall: 46.8% and 51.9%; White patients: 48.6% and 46.2%; Black patients: 52.8% and 54.1%), and decreased treatment response (respective 12-month rate overall: 24.3% and 37.9%; White patients: 24.5% and 35.2%; Black patients: 17.0% and 43.9%) were observed. Conclusion: Patients with mCRPC positive for HRR alterations tended to exhibit poorer treatment responses and clinical outcomes than those with a negative status. These findings highlight the importance of timely genetic testing in mCRPC, particularly among Black patients, and the need for improved 1L targeted therapies to address the unmet need in HRR positive mCRPC.
