[Value of targeted therapy for prostate cancer].
Article in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Prostate cancer is the most frequent malignancy of the male population. Every year in Germany approximately 12,000 patients die of their hormone-refractory prostate cancer even though early detection is able to find more curable prostate cancers. In a hormone-refractory stage we only have limited options for treatment. Although docetaxel is currently the standard of care in most hormone-refractory prostate cancers, it is not the magic therapy that will dramatically change the patient's poor survival. This drug provides an overall survival advantage of 2 months. During recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of molecular therapy in urologic oncology. Targeted therapy leads to an inhibition of angiogenesis and proliferation in malignant tumors. Even if there is a great theoretical potential, mono- and combination therapies with target substances are not relevant in the clinical routine.
