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 effectiveness of androgen ablation in the management of advanced prostate cancer is of limited duration, with the median length of response being only 18-24 months. The transition of the prostate cancer cell to an androgen independent phenotype is a complex process that involves selection and outgrowth of pre-existing clones of androgen-independent cells (clonal selection) as well as adaptive up-regulation of genes that help the cancer cells survive and grow after androgen ablation (adaptation). These two mechanisms share an important pre-requisite characteristic: prostate cancers are heterogeneous tumours comprised of various subpopulations of cells that respond differently to androgen withdrawal therapy. This tumour heterogeneity may reflect either a multifocal origin, adaptation to environmental stimuli, and/or genetic instability of the initial cancer. This review will reexamine the different mechanisms that enable prostate cancer cells to proliferate in an androgen depleted environment.
