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

BRCA1 pathogenic variants are associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer than BRCA2, but aggressiveness remains unclear. Therefore, screening criteria are insufficiently established. Here, we reanalyzed the impact of BRCA1 pathogenic variants on aggressiveness using 11 300 prostate cancer patients, adjusting for age and area. The proportion of aggressive prostate cancer was higher in BRCA1 carriers (86.7%) than in noncarriers (61.1%) (odds ratio = 4.87; 95% confidence interval = 1.05 to 22.60). The proportion of high prostate-specific antigen levels was higher in BRCA1 carriers (66.7%) than in noncarriers (27.9%) (P = 7.61 × 10-3). BRCA1 carriers had a worse tendency than noncarriers for T classification (T3-4: BRCA1, 36.4%; noncarriers, 23.2%) and Gleason score (GS8-10: BRCA1, 53.3%; noncarriers, 31.0%). Moreover, we observed the first case of BRCA1-related aggressive prostate cancer showing long-term survival through early detection and multidisciplinary treatment. These results suggest that recommendations for early prostate cancer screening might need to be reconsidered for BRCA1 carriers.
