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

purposeTo assess long-term survival in a "STAMPEDE-like" cohort of high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer, staged with PSMA PET-CT, treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) and long-term androgen deprivation therapy (LT-ADT) without abiraterone. MATERIALS &

methodsPatients with non-metastatic prostate cancer fulfilling "STAMPEDE high-risk" criteria, staged with PSMA PET-CT, treated with external beam RT from 2016 to 2021 were included. RT dose was >74 Gy equivalent to prostate with LT-ADT ≥ 2 years. We analysed metastatic-free survival (MFS), prostate cancer specific survival (PCSS) and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier method.

results170 patients were eligible, treated with hypofractionated RT with median prostate 2Gy-equivalent dose of 82 Gy. About one-third were node-positive and treated with whole pelvic RT. Over median follow up of 65 months, 6-years MFS, PCSS and OS were 80.7%, 95.8% and 94.4% respectively. On multivariate analysis, Gleason score and nodal stage showed significant association with MFS.

conclusionFor PSMA-PETCT staged high risk prostate cancer, appropriately intensified local treatment could be complementary or an alternative to systemic intensification in selected patients.
