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

purposeIn this review, we summarize the importance of AR variants with a particular focus on clinically relevant members of this family.

methodsA non-systematic literature review was performed based on Medline and PubMed.

resultsEndocrine therapy represents the central paradigm for the management of prostate cancer. Eventually, in response to androgen ablation therapy, several resistance mechanisms against the endocrine therapy might develop that can circumvent the therapy approaches. One specific resistance mechanism that has gained increasing attention is the generation of alternatively spliced variants of the androgen receptor, with AR-V7 being the most prominent. More broadly, AR-V7 is one member of a group of alternatively spliced AR variants that share a common feature, the missing ligand-binding domain. These ΔLBD androgen receptor variants have shown the capability to induce androgen receptor-mediated gene transcription even under conditions of androgen deprivation and to drive cancer progression.

conclusionThe methods used for detecting AR-Vs, at least on the mRNA level, are well-advanced and harbor the potential to be introduced into clinical diagnostics. It is important to note, that the testing, especially of AR-V7 has its limitations in predicting treatment response. More promising is the great number of active clinical trials aimed at reducing the AR-Vs, and using this to re-sensitize CRPC towards endocrine treatment might provide additional treatment options for CRPC patients in the future.
