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 clinical course of prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men, is very variable. Despite intense research activities over the years and besides histopathological criteria, prognostic markers that reliably predict tumor behavior and the necessity for treatment are still missing. A likely explanation for this fact is the lack of good tumor models, mimicking the in vivo situation. These models are not only essential for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of prostate cancer but also play an important role in the development of new therapeutic strategies. Since results of permanent cell culture experiments reflect only in part real tumor behavior and primary cultures from patient material cannot be grown indefinitely, novel approaches need to be developed to achieve reliable and clinically relevant prostate cancer research.In this work the development of several approaches for culturing primary prostate cancer tissue is illustrated and a forecast of future research plans utilizing xenograft models in mice is made.
