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

Background: Enzalutamide combined with docetaxel is one of the effective therapeutic regimens for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which significantly prolongs progression-free survival (PFS). For mCRPC patients with bone marrow metastasis (BMM), bone marrow metastasis itself impairs the bone marrow microenvironment and results in reduced hematopoietic function. The combined therapy may induce life-threatening refractory thrombocytopenia, which has been rarely reported in clinical practice. Case presentation: A 62-year-old male patient with mCRPC and confirmed bone marrow metastasis was reported herein. After progression to mCRPC, the patient was treated with enzalutamide plus docetaxel, followed by grade 4 refractory thrombocytopenia. The lowest platelet count decreased to 3×10 Conclusion: Enzalutamide combined with docetaxel may increase the risk of refractory grade 4 thrombocytopenia among mCRPC patients with bone marrow infiltration, as illustrated by this single clinical case.
