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

Introduction: Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) improve survival in prostate cancer; however, it may increase cardiovascular risks, especially in elderly patients with heart disease. Case Presentation: A 94-year-old man with aortic valve stenosis, hypertension, and diabetes had a nodal metastatic progression of prostate cancer at 88 years of age, leading to the implementation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). After 5 years of therapy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) re-elevated; however, ADT was maintained. At 94 years old, darolutamide was started due to worsening of urinary symptoms. Although these symptoms improved, the patient developed a heart failure with elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Darolutamide was discontinued, leading to reduced BNP levels but increased PSA levels. A reduced dose (300 mg/day) resulted in stable PSA levels without BNP elevation. Conclusion: Careful cardiovascular monitoring is crucial when ARSIs are used in older patients with heart disease. Dose adjustments may help balance oncological benefits and cardiac safety.
