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

backgroundAndrogen-receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) become the new standard of care for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). It is unknown whether time to castration resistance (TTCR), when using the first-line ARSIs, offers predictive value in mHSPC. We sought to assess the clinical outcomes for mHSPC patients treated with first-line ARSIs focusing on the TTCR.

methodsData from the ULTRA-Japan study cohort from five academic institutes (496 mHSPC patients) were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsThe median overall survival (OS) in the total cohort was 80 months with a median follow-up of 18 months. Of 496 patients, 332 (67%), 82 (16.5%), and 82 (16.5%) were treated with first-line abiraterone acetate + prednisone, enzalutamide, and apalutamide, respectively. During the follow-up, a total of 155 (31%) were diagnosed with mCRPC with a median TTCR of 10 months. In those 155 patients, TTCR > 12 months is an independent predictor of longer OS from the first-line ARSIs. Cox regression analysis of the TTCR from initiating first-line ARSI in 496 mHSPC patients revealed three variables as independent predictors of shorter TTCR, including Gleason's score (GS) ≥ 9, the extent of disease (EOD) ≥ 2, and the presence of liver metastasis.

conclusionOur results indicate that mHSPC patients with those three features are likely to have primary resistance to first-line ARSIs (doublet therapy), thus requiring consideration of other options, such as the recent triplet approach.
