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

The discovery of multiple putative therapeutic targets and multiple putative agents for these targets in prostate cancer in the coming years poses significant challenges for clinical trial design. This is especially true for cytostatic agents that are not expected to lead to frank tumor shrinkage or declines in the PSA. The most promising agents will need to be identified early in their development. Since surrogate biologic markers are likely to play a critical role, the identification and validation of these markers is discussed. A number of non-traditional phase I and phase II clinical trial designs, including pre-operative dosing for assessing drug effect on a marker and the randomized discontinuation phase II design, are also discussed in detail. Use of such designs as well as surrogate marker validation will likely be required to efficiently choose appropriate agents for definitive study in the phase III setting.
