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: Enzalutamide, approved in China for the treatment of prostate cancer (PC), has been studied for risk of seizure, but there is limited real-world evidence on this risk in China. Cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) among enzalutamide-treated patients have been reported. Objectives: To evaluate the risk of seizure and PRES in patients with PC treated with enzalutamide in China. Design: Observational cohort study. Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records of patients with PC aged ⩾18 years treated at three clinical sites in China who started enzalutamide between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2022. The primary objective was to estimate the proportion (%) of enzalutamide- or alternative antiandrogen-treated patients who experienced seizure. The index date was the date of the start of treatment. The follow-up period started from the index date and included both on- and off-treatment periods. Results: Demographic and clinical characteristics were generally similar between the enzalutamide ( Conclusion: Among patients with PC in China, the risk of seizure was low in both the enzalutamide and alternative antiandrogen groups, despite the presence of risk factors for seizure in over one-third of patients.
