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

Large scale exome sequencing studies have revealed regions of the genome, which contribute to the castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) phenotype. Such studies have identified mutations in genes, which may have diagnostic/prognostic potential, or which may be targeted therapeutically. Two of these genes include the androgen receptor (AR) and speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) genes. However, the findings from these exome sequencing studies can only be translated therapeutically once the functional consequences of these mutations have been determined. Here, we highlight the recent study by An et al. which investigated the functional effects of mutations in the SPOP gene that were identified in the aforementioned exome sequencing studies, particularly in the context of SPOP-mediated degradation of the AR.
