Stratifying Risk and Treatment Benefit: A Model Predicting Overall Survival in Men with Metastatic De Novo Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer in Trials Investigating Docetaxel (the STOPCAP Collaboration).
Article in European urology focus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model for overall survival (OS) in men with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), using clinical factors from phase 3 trials to improve survival prediction, guide clinical decision-making, and optimize trial design.
methodsWe analyzed individual patient data from three randomized phase 3 trials (four comparisons) of androgen deprivation therapy ± docetaxel: CHAARTED (n = 575), GETUG-15 (n = 272), and STAMPEDE (arm A, n = 689; arm C, n = 347; arm E, n = 351). A proportional hazard model was developed using CHAARTED and GETUG-15 as the training set, and validated using the STAMPEDE comparisons. Model discrimination performance was assessed by the time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (tAUC). KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: Lower levels of hemoglobin, high disease volume, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status were associated with an increased risk of death. The model achieved tAUC values of 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.76) and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.67-0.72) in STAMPEDE A versus C and STAMPEDE A versus E comparisons, respectively. Risk stratification into two or three groups showed clear differences in OS, with substantially longer OS in low-risk patients. Moreover, patients in the poor-risk group derived the greatest benefit from docetaxel, while low-risk patients derived minimal benefit. A limitation is that the model was built in de novo mHSPC men. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This validated model improves OS prediction in de novo mHSPC patients and supports risk-informed treatment selection. Future work should focus on external validation in contemporary settings.
