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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveOligometastatic prostate cancer (omPC) is characterized by limited metastases. We hypothesized that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) to all sites of omPC combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) would improve clinical outcomes.

methodsIn the multicenter phase 2 EXTEND trial, patients with omPC were randomized 1:1 to ADT versus MDT + ADT in two independently powered and randomized baskets, one using intermittent ADT and one using continuous ADT. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included radiologic PFS (rPFS) and castration resistance-free survival (CRFS). Here, the primary results of the continuous ADT basket, the combined analysis of both baskets, and translational immune correlatives are reported. KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: From September 2018 through August 2022, 174 patients were randomized and were eligible for the primary analysis. In the continuous ADT basket (N = 87), the median PFS was 47 mo with MDT + ADT versus 22 mo with ADT (hazard ratio [HR], 0.50; one-sided p = 0.036). In the combined analysis, the median PFS was 36 mo with MDT + ADT versus 17 mo with ADT (HR, 0.45; p < 0.001). Radiologic PFS and CRFS were also superior with MDT + ADT. Durable clinical responses after MDT + ADT were associated with systemic Th1-polarizing cytokine upregulation and CD8 CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: MDT + ADT improves PFS compared with ADT in omPC patients, meriting phase 3 confirmation. Hypothesis-generating immune responses warrant mechanistic validation and future trials with T-cell-targeted immunotherapies.
