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

purpose of reviewProstate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. The different stages of prostate cancer which include localised (low, intermediate, and high risk) disease, locally advanced, non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (M0 CRPCa), and metastatic disease. The main treatment of locally advanced disease is external beam radiotherapy with hormonal therapy which are associated with good prognosis. RECENT

findingsCurrent treatments for M0 CRPCa include androgen deprivation therapy in combination with apalutamide, darolutamide or enzalutamide, all of which are associated with good metastatic-free survival rates in clinical trials. Hormone-naive metastatic prostate cancer comprises the same treatments as M0 CRPCa, whereas further treatment includes docetaxel and abiraterone. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treatments include sipuleucel-T, radium-223, abiraterone, enzalutamide and cabazitaxel, which aim to slow down the progression of the disease and to prolong life. This article also provides insight into the development of new drugs recently approved for metastatic castration prostate cancer, which include PARP inhibitors and Lutetium-177 which have shown to have significantly good overall survival and to improve radiographic progression-free survival. In addition, new clinical trials are ongoing to test new medications such as cabozantinb and chimeric-antigen receptor T-cell therapy for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. With the aim to slow down the progression of the disease and to prolong life, new drug developments are underway to hopefully provide a positive impact on overall survival and improve progression-free survival, especially in advanced prostate cancer.
