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.

Abstract

This podcast features two of the investigators from the phase III EMBARK trial (NCT02319837) in conversation. The primary results from EMBARK demonstrated meaningfully improved primary and key secondary efficacy outcomes, while maintaining quality of life, with enzalutamide with or without leuprolide versus leuprolide alone in patients with high-risk biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Notably, there was a meaningful improvement in overall survival with enzalutamide plus leuprolide compared with leuprolide alone. In this third podcast in the EMBARK series, the speakers discuss the key findings from the subsequent (protocol-defined and post hoc) analyses of EMBARK, including clinically relevant secondary outcomes; efficacy endpoints by age, prior definitive therapy, and the definition of high-risk biochemical recurrence per European Association of Urology criteria; and patient-reported outcomes by treatment suspension status. The podcast will predominately focus on the real-world implications of these findings for clinical practice. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02319837.
