Utility of plasma cell-free DNA in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Article in IJU case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
introductionCell-free DNA is suggested as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, it remains unknown which parameter of cell-free DNA is correlated with the progression and prognosis of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old man with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (serum prostate-specific antigen 4891 ng/mL, Gleason score 4 + 5 = 9, cT3bN1M1) was referred to our department. He first received sequential hormonal therapies and was consequently diagnosed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer 64 months after initial treatment. He underwent serial examinations of plasma cell-free DNA, including concentration, androgen receptor amplification, TP53 point mutation, and PTEN loss. Only the cell-free DNA concentration increased along with disease progression and declined after the administration of abiraterone and enzalutamide.
conclusionThis case presented that cell-free DNA concentration was possibly correlated with response to castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment and disease progression. Cell-free DNA concentration was proposed as a potential prognostic biomarker of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
