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: Darolutamide, a novel androgen receptor inhibitor, significantly improved outcomes in the ARASENS trial when combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel chemotherapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). In China, the regimen has been reimbursed since December 2023, expanding real-world accessibility. PSMA imaging-guided focal therapy enables precise localization of residual or oligometastatic lesions and may complement systemic control. Objective: To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of darolutamide-based triplet therapy combined with PSMA imaging-guided focal treatment in patients with mHSPC. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 17 patients treated across three tertiary hospitals between June 2023 and June 2024. All patients received darolutamide (600 mg twice daily), ADT, and docetaxel (75 mg/m Results: Seventeen patients with predominantly low- to intermediate-volume metastatic disease were analyzed. The PSA90 response rate was 94.1%, and 82.4% achieved PSA ≤0.2 ng/mL. Median PSA-PFS and rPFS were not reached at a median follow-up of 16 months. The 12-/18-month PSA-PFS rates were 88% and 65%, while the corresponding rPFS rates were 94% and 76%. Grade 1-2 myelosuppression (64.7%) and fatigue (47.1%) were most common; grade 3 neutropenia occurred in two patients (11.8%) without grade ≥4 events. Focal therapy was well tolerated, with no severe complications. Conclusion: Darolutamide-based triplet therapy combined with PSMA-guided focal intervention achieved deep biochemical responses and durable disease control with manageable toxicity in real-world Chinese patients with mHSPC. The multicenter design and standardized methodology support the feasibility of this multimodal approach, which warrants validation in larger prospective studies.
