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

Docetaxel-based therapy is one of the first-line options for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, a large proportion of CRPC patients show different extents of docetaxel resistance. The current study aims to investigate the role of testicular nuclear receptor 4 (TR4) in docetaxel resistance in CRPC. TR4 expression level in prostate biopsy samples from CRPC patients treated with docetaxel was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Alternation of TR4 expression in prostate cancer (PCa) cell line PC3 was applied to find out the influence of TR4 on half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), cell viability and cell apoptosis. Patients who failed to achieve prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (<50% PSA reduction from baseline) after docetaxel-based chemotherapy had a comparatively higher TR4 expression than those who achieved PSA response (⩾50% PSA reduction from baseline). Knocking down TR4 in PC3 cells led to a lower IC50 dose, poorer cell viability and more cell apoptosis when treated with docetaxel, whereas overexpression of TR4 in PC3 led to a higher IC50 dose, better cell viability and less cell apoptosis. TR4 enhances the chemo-resistance of docetaxel in CRPC. It may serve as a biomarker to determine the prognosis of docetaxel-based therapy and as a potential therapy target to combine with docetaxel to better suppress CRPC.
