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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with chemotherapy- and androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI)-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have generally shown worse overall survival (OS) with abiraterone versus enzalutamide in claims database studies. Given limitations of claims data, analysis using detailed electronic health records (EHRs) is needed to confirm this finding.

methodsThis EHR-based analysis (2014-2023) of the Flatiron Health database included patients with chemotherapy- and ARPI-naïve mCRPC who initiated first-line ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide). OS, treatment duration, and time to subsequent therapy were assessed. A subgroup analysis evaluated patients who received first-line ARPI only with no subsequent treatments. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models evaluated time-to-event outcomes. Stabilized inverse probability treatment weighting (sIPTW) adjusted for baseline differences.

resultsAmong 2731 patients, 1316 received first-line abiraterone and 1415 enzalutamide (median follow-up: 21.8 and 23.2 months, respectively). sIPTW-adjusted median OS (24.6 vs. 25.8 months; hazard ratio [HR] 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.23), treatment duration (7.9 vs. 9.5 months; HR 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11-1.31), and time to subsequent therapy (14.7 vs. 17.9 months; HR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.08-1.32) were shorter with abiraterone versus enzalutamide. Among the 40% with no subsequent treatment (n = 1102), sIPTW-adjusted median OS (14.0 vs. 17.7 months; HR 1.32; 95% CI, 1.14-1.53), and treatment duration (7.5 vs. 10.6 months; HR 1.30; 95% CI, 1.12-1.50) were also shorter with abiraterone versus enzalutamide.

conclusionsUsing more detailed data abstraction, these results confirm prior claims-based analyses showing that despite early use of subsequent therapy, first-line abiraterone is associated with shorter OS versus enzalutamide in ARPI- and chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC.
