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

Objective: The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) promotes resistance to androgen receptor (AR)-targeting therapies in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) by bypassing AR blockade. However, the clinical relevance of evaluating GR expression in patients with CRPC has not been determined. The present study investigated the association of relative GR expression in CRPC tissue samples with treatment response to AR-targeting therapy. Methods: Levels of Results: Evaluation of 38 patients treated with AR-targeting therapies showed that the PSA response rate was significantly higher in patients with low than high AR-V7/AR-FL ratios (77.8% vs. 25.0%, p=0.003) and in patients with low than high GR/AR-FL ratios (81.3% vs. 27.3%, p=0.003). Patients with low GR/AR-FL ratios had higher rates of PSA progression-free survival (46.0% vs. 22.4%, p=0.006), radiologic progression-free survival (28.9% vs. 10.0%, p=0.02), and overall survival (75.2% vs. 48.0%, p=0.037) than patients with high GR/AR-FL ratios. The association of GR/AR-FL ratio with PSA response to AR-targeting therapy remained significant in multivariable models. Evaluation of the 14 patients who received taxane chemotherapy showed that PSA response rates did not differ significantly in those with low and high AR-V7/AR-FL and GR/AR-FL ratios, although no definitive conclusions can be drawn due to the small number of patients. Conclusion: Relative GR expression is associated with sensitivity to AR-targeting therapy and survival in patients with CRPC. Large-scale prospective validation and liquid biopsy-based studies are warranted.
