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

Prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-associated deaths amongst American men. Trop2, a cell surface glycoprotein, correlates with poor clinical outcome and is highly expressed in metastatic, treatment-resistant prostate cancer. High levels of Trop2 are prognostic for biochemical recurrence. Trop2 regulates tumor growth and metastatic ability of prostate cancer. Moreover, overexpression of Trop2 drives the transdifferentiation to neuroendocrine phenotype in prostate cancer. In addition, Trop2 is overexpressed across epithelial cancers and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in various solid epithelial cancers. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently approved the use of a Trop2-targeting ADC (antibody-drug conjugate), Sacituzumab Govitecan (IMMU-132), for metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer with at least two prior therapies. Here, we review the role of Trop2 in prostate tumorigenesis and its potential as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
