Intermittent androgen deprivation.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Intermittent androgen deprivation is a controversial approach to management of prostate cancer. Preclinical models have demonstrated delay in time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression in athymic mice bearing LNCaP tumors and a delay in time to androgen independence in androgen-dependent Shionogi carcinoma tumors in castrated animals exposed to intermittent androgen. Phase II clinical trials have demonstrated improved sexual function and quality of life in men discontinuing androgen deprivation. The average percentage of time spent off androgen deprivation ranges from 37% to 58%. Most men respond to retreatment with hormonal therapy. Current ongoing phase III clinical trials of intermittent versus continuous androgen deprivation in men with metastatic disease or recurrent disease after localized therapy will assess the comparative impact on quality of life and survival. Final analyses of these critical trials will define the ultimate role of this approach in prostate cancer. In the interim, intermittent androgen deprivation should be considered an experimental approach.
