Article in Future oncology (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02319837 (A Phase 3, Randomized, Efficacy and Safety Study of Enzalutamide Plus Leuprolide, Enzalutamide Monotherapy, and Placebo Plus Leuprolide in Men With High-Risk Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer Progressing After Definitive Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

This podcast features two of the investigators from the international, randomized, phase III EMBARK trial (NCT02319837) in conversation. The findings from EMBARK led to the subsequent approval of enzalutamide by the US Food and Drug Administration for nonmetastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) with biochemical recurrence (BCR) at high risk for metastasis, and by the European Medicines Agency for patients with high-risk BCR nmCSPC who are unsuitable for salvage radiotherapy. Treatment guidelines have now been updated accordingly to reflect these approvals. In this first of a series of podcasts about EMBARK, the speakers discuss the background and rationale for the EMBARK trial, including the unmet medical need in this patient population, and examine some notable features of the study design.
