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

aimThis study described treatment patterns, reasons for treatment, and homologous recombination repair mutation (HRRm) testing patterns in a real-world metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) population in Europe.

methodsData were drawn from the Adelphi Prostate Cancer Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and patients conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, November 2022-May 2023. Physicians provided clinical characteristics, treatment and HRRm testing patterns, and reasons for treatment for eight consecutive patients with mCRPC. Most analyses were descriptive; treatment reasons were compared using Fisher's Exact test.

resultsPhysicians provided data for 1,737 mCRPC patients. Most patients (73%) were androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPi)-naïve at first-line (1 L) mCRPC. Here, at 1 L mCRPC, 60% of patients received ARPi and 24% chemotherapy. Of those who received ARPi prior to mCRPC (

conclusionsTreatment patterns generally followed guidelines. ARPi prescriptions prior to mCRPC were numerically higher than previously reported, however HRRm testing rates were still low meaning mCRPC patients may miss out on more effective targeted treatments.
