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

Although obesity has been associated with better overall survival (OS) among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, its association with OS has not been extensively explored in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). We conducted a post hoc exploratory analysis of patient-level data from the SWOG-1216 trial to determine whether baseline body mass index (BMI) is associated with better OS among patients with mHSPC. SWOG-1216 was an open-label, phase 3 trial that randomized patients newly diagnosed with mHSPC 1:1 to either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with orteronel (experimental arm) or ADT with bicalutamide (control arm). Of 1279 patients included in the analysis, 12 (0.9%) were underweight, 252 (19.7%) had normal BMI, 958 (74.9%) were overweight, and 57 (4.5%) were obese. Age, Gleason score, extent of disease burden, the incidence of visceral metastases, and treatment allocation were similar among the groups (p > 0.05), while differences in baseline prostate-specific antigen and Zubrod performance status were observed (p < 0.05). Median OS was 2.4, 5.5, 6.6, and 6.8 yr in the underweight, normal, overweight, and obese groups, respectively. After adjusting for prognostic variables, high BMI was associated with better OS (HR for each increment in BMI category: 0.829, 5% CI 0.68-0.98; p = 0.029). These findings need to be validated in other phase 3 trials. PATIENT SUMMARY: We analyzed data from a clinical trial to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and overall survival among patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. We found that in this group of patients, the risk of death was lower for patients with higher BMI.
