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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe management of high-risk (HR) prostate cancer represents a challenge for radiation oncologists. This survey investigates the pattern of care in management of HR-prostate cancer across Spanish institutions. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a survey among URONCOR members from March to May 2024. This survey was structured in five sections: diagnosis, radiotherapy, hormonal treatment, follow-up, and future perspectives.
resultsA total of 74 responses from 71 different hospitals were received. Participants have a median professional experienced of 11 years, working most of them (84.9%) in public university hospitals. 97.3% have multidisciplinary tumor board and treat a median of 50 (0-200) HR-prostate cancer patients per year/department. 44.63% of centers use Choline-PET and 28.4% PSMA-PET at diagnosis with 26 different fractionation schedules, the most common is moderate hypofractionation (52.7%): 70 Gy in 28 fractions, followed by 37.5 Gy in 15 fractions + 15 Gy brachytherapy boost (30.4%). 56.8% of the institutions perform whole-pelvic irradiation in N0 patients, with 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions (40.48%) being the most common scheme. 56.8% prescribe an LHRH agonist and 74.6% for 24 months. 75.7% prescribe abiraterone in very high-risk patients. 63.0% use the PHOENIX-criteria to define a recurrence. 38.0% perform PSMA-PET and 39.0% Choline-PET as imaging for recurrence. After local relapse, 73.97% apply a re-irradiation technique with 11 different schedules (32.35%), with HDR-brachytherapy: 13.5 Gy × 2 being the most used (56.16%). 83.8% consider that they achieved good results in HR-prostate cancer.
conclusionThis study represents the current status of the management of HR-prostate cancer in Spain, highlighting the wide variety of radiotherapy treatments as well as the need for national consensus guidelines.
