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
To assess the hypothesis that the dynamics of plasma angiogenic and inflammatory cytokines after docetaxel chemotherapy with or without the c-kit/abl/platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) inhibitor imatinib mesylate for prostate cancer are associated with outcome, the kinetics of 17 plasma cytokines before versus after chemotherapy were assessed and associations with progression-free survival (PFS) examined. After adjusting for multiple tests, significantly different declines in placental growth factor (PIGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR1), VEGF, and soluble c-kit were observed with docetaxel plus imatinib (n=41) compared to docetaxel alone (n=47). Based on a piecewise linear regression model for change in concentration of each cytokine as a function of the probability of change in p-PDGFR in vivo, only the dynamics of PIGF (P<0.0001) and soluble c-kit (P<0.0001) differed with imatinib therapy. In a Bayesian log-normal regression model for PFS, a rise in human matrix metalloproteinase 9 after docetaxel alone associated with a longer PFS. Distinct plasma angiogenic cytokines are modified by imatinib and partitioned by in vivo p-PDGFR dynamics after docetaxel chemotherapy for metastatic prostate cancer. Plasma PIGF and soluble c-kit kinetics are candidate biomarkers of imatinib effect. The predictive value of human matrix metalloproteinase 9 kinetics for docetaxel efficacy requires prospective validation.
