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
backgroundThis study explored the value of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) in predicting the efficacy of abiraterone treatment in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients.
methodsA retrospective study of 925 patients who underwent prostate biopsies to detect IDC-P was conducted, with participants divided into two cohorts. The first cohort of 165 mHSPC patients receiving abiraterone treatment was analyzed to compare therapeutic effectiveness between IDC-P positive and negative cases. Utilizing propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce bias, outcomes such as PSA response, progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and overall survival were assessed. Additionally, the second cohort of 760 mHSPC patients compared the efficacy of abiraterone with conventional hormone therapy, focusing on differences between IDC-P positive and negative individuals.
resultsAfter PSM, our first cohort included 108 patients with similar baseline characteristics. Among them, 50% (54/108) were diagnosed with IDC-P, with 22.2% (12/54) having IDC-P pattern 1 and 77.8% (42/54) with IDC-P pattern 2. While no notable difference was seen in PSA responses between IDC-P positive and negative patients, IDC-P presence linked to worse clinical outcomes (PSA-PFS: 18.6 months vs. not reached [NR], p = 0.009; rPFS: 23.6 months vs. NR, p = 0.020). Further analysis showed comparable outcomes for IDC-P pattern 1 but significantly worse prognosis for IDC-P pattern 2 (PSA-PFS: 18.6 months vs. NR, p = 0.002; rPFS: 22.4 months vs. NR, p = 0.010). Subgroup analysis revealed IDC-P pattern 2 consistently predicted poorer outcomes across patient subgroups. Remarkably, both IDC-P positive and negative patients gained more from androgen deprivation therapy with abiraterone than conventional treatment, with IDC-P negative patients showing a more significant survival advantage, supported by better hazard ratios (0.47 and 0.66).
conclusionThis study found that IDC-P, especially pattern 2, predicts poor prognosis in mHSPC patients on abiraterone therapy. Also, abiraterone's advantage over hormone therapy is reduced in cases with IDC-P compared to those without.
