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

New developments in molecular and cellular biology are rapidly increasing knowledge of the mechanisms of androgen action in the prostate. Molecular profiling of recurrent cancer after androgen deprivation therapy has revealed genetic changes related to cell survival and proliferation. It is now clear that loss of the androgen receptor (AR) does not explain androgen-independent growth of a majority of recurrent cancers. Rather, overexpression, mutation, and ligand-independent activation of the AR may confer enhanced sensitivity to androgen or other growth factors. Therefore, the term "androgen-independent" is often a misnomer. This emerging concept is the basis of novel strategies to prevent or slow recurrence.
