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

Huggins and Hodges described the first systemic targeted therapy for prostate cancer in 1941 with their report on the effects of androgen ablation in men with metastatic disease. Since that time, researchers have identified multiple additional "targets" that may be important in prostate cancer tumorigenesis. These areas include continued emphasis on the androgen receptor in the androgen-independent state, parallel growth pathways such as AKT and HER2 that may act in conjunction or independently of the androgen receptor, the supporting environment that allows for the development of metastatic disease, and standard cytotoxic targets, such as the microtubule. This review is intended to highlight these potential targets and several of the agents that are under development in the treatment of prostate cancer.
