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 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) low serum androgens prior to starting abiraterone acetate (AA) is associated with more rapid progression. We evaluated the effect of AA on androgens in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) metastases and associations of intratumoral androgens with response. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe performed a phase II study of AA plus prednisone in mCRPC. The primary outcome was tissue testosterone at 4 weeks. Exploratory outcomes were association of steroid levels and genomic alterations with response, and escalating AA to 2,000 mg at progression.

resultsTwenty-nine of 30 men were evaluable. Testosterone in metastatic biopsies became undetectable at 4 weeks (

conclusionsLow-circulating adrenal androgen levels are strongly associated with an androgen-poor tumor microenvironment and with poor response to AA. Patients with CRPC with higher serum DHEAS levels may benefit from dual androgen receptor (AR)-pathway inhibition, while those in the lowest quartile may require combinations with non-AR-directed therapy.
