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

backgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men. For patients with high-volume metastatic PCa (mPCa) who are fit for docetaxel, a triplet therapy regimen consisting of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), chemotherapy, and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) is recommended. Adding local radiotherapy to triplet therapy has been shown to alleviate symptoms and reduce disease progression. However, the benefit of combining triplet therapy with local surgery remains unclear and warrants further investigation in the present study. STUDY

designThis is an open-label, prospective, two-arm, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. ENDPOINTS: Primary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS) and the 1-year PFS rate. Disease progression is defined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, radiological progression, or unequivocal clinical progression. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients aged 18-75 years with high-volume mPCa will receive ADT (triptorelin 15 mg every 3 months), four-six cycles of chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m
