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.

Abstract

In the phase 3 PROpel trial (NCT03732820) patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with olaparib plus abiraterone in the first-line setting showed significantly prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; primary data cutoff [DCO]: 30 July 2021; hazard ratio [HR] 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54-0.81; p < 0.001), and at prespecified final OS analysis DCO (12 October 2022) numerically prolonged overall survival (OS; HR 0.81, 95% CI, 0.67-1.00; p = 0.054), versus placebo plus abiraterone for the global population. Here, we report efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcome data for the Asian subset in PROpel. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either olaparib (300 mg twice daily) or placebo in combination with abiraterone (1000 mg once daily). The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed rPFS, and a key secondary endpoint was OS. In the Asian subset (n = 133) at primary analysis, median rPFS was 27.6 months in the olaparib plus abiraterone arm (n = 63), compared with 19.3 months in the placebo plus abiraterone arm (n = 70; HR 0.55, 95% CI, 0.32-0.95). Median OS at the final analysis was not reached in the olaparib plus abiraterone arm versus 43.7 months in the placebo plus abiraterone arm (HR 0.59, 95% CI, 0.32-1.06). The safety profile was generally similar in the Asian subset and the global population. Efficacy and safety results for olaparib plus abiraterone in the Asian subset were generally consistent with the global PROpel population supporting the combination of olaparib plus abiraterone as an important first-line treatment for consideration in Asian patients with mCRPC. Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03732820.
