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

backgroundIn the PROSELICA, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing cabazitaxel 20 mg/m

methodsWe analyzed patient-level data from 1200 patients with mCRPC who were randomized in the PROSELICA trial. Outcomes included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Using baseline characteristics, patients were stratified into quartiles based on either quantitative baseline risk of poor outcome (risk modeling) or predicted individualized treatment effect (ITE) using a causal survival forest algorithm (effect modeling). Treatment effects were measured as differences in restricted mean survival time (RMST).

resultsFor risk modeling, the OS effect of C25 increased with risk quartiles: -0.07 months (95% CI, -1.60 to 1.46) in the lowest risk quartile and 1.67 months (95% CI, 0.25 to 3.10) in the highest risk quartile. For effect modeling, the OS effect ranged from -0.17 months (95% CI, -3.01 to 2.68) in the lowest ITE quartile to 0.57 months (95% CI, -2.27 to 3.41) in the highest ITE quartile. Both approaches demonstrated greater C25 benefit in patients with extensive previous treatment and baseline disease burden. PFS effects remained consistent across all quartiles.

conclusionsThe OS effect of C25 versus C20 may vary based on baseline characteristics in post-docetaxel mCRPC. Patients with extensive treatment history and disease burden may benefit more from C25.
