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 results of cytotoxic therapy in the second-line setting of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer have demonstrated that disease is poorly controlled after taxane resistance with a time to progression of 3 months or less. Many trials of second-line chemotherapy have been disappointing. However, most of patients with docetaxel-pretreated castration-resistant disease receive a second-line chemotherapy. Molecular mechanism of castration resistance and docetaxel resistance is resumed, and clinical trials of second-line chemotherapy after docetaxel progression are reviewed. Reintroduction of docetaxel after a drug-free interval is an active treatment in docetaxel-pretreated patients, and only recently a prospective study documented a survival benefit of 2.4 months after second-line taxane-based chemotherapy of metastatic docetaxel-resistant prostate cancer. Although a second-line chemotherapy with a taxane could improve overall survival, a change of biology of castration-resistant prostate cancer after docetaxel is suggested, as inferred by the renewed hormonal sensitivity, whose role on survival remains unknown, and from the activity of antiangiogenic drugs.
