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

The prediction of survival outcomes is a key factor in making decisions for prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. Advances in computer-based technologies have increased the role of machine learning (ML) methods in predicting cancer prognosis. Due to the various effective treatments available for each non-linear landscape of PCa, the integration of ML can help offer tailored treatment strategies and precision medicine approaches, thus improving survival in patients with PCa. There has been an upsurge of studies utilizing ML to predict the survival of these patients using complex datasets, including patient and tumor features, radiographic data, and population-based databases. This review aims to explore the evolving role of ML in predicting survival outcomes associated with PCa. Specifically, we will focus on the applications of ML in forecasting biochemical recurrence-free, progression to castration-resistance-free, metastasis-free, and overall survivals. Additionally, we will suggest areas in need of further research in the future to enhance the utility of ML for a more clinically-utilizable PCa prognosis prediction and treatment optimization.
