Stromal androgen signaling acts as tumor niches to drive prostatic basal epithelial progenitor-initiated oncogenesis.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The androgen receptor (AR)-signaling pathways are essential for prostate tumorigenesis. Although significant effort has been devoted to directly targeting AR-expressing tumor cells, these therapies failed in most prostate cancer patients. Here, we demonstrate that loss of AR in stromal sonic-hedgehog Gli1-lineage cells diminishes prostate epithelial oncogenesis and tumor development using in vivo assays and mouse models. Single-cell RNA sequencing and other analyses identified a robust increase of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein 3 expression in AR-deficient stroma through attenuation of AR suppression on Sp1-regulated transcription, which further inhibits IGF1-induced Wnt/β-catenin activation in adjacent basal epithelial cells and represses their oncogenic growth and tumor development. Epithelial organoids from stromal AR-deficient mice can regain IGF1-induced oncogenic growth. Loss of human prostate tumor basal cell signatures reveals in basal cells of stromal AR-deficient mice. These data demonstrate a distinct mechanism for prostate tumorigenesis and implicate co-targeting stromal and epithelial AR-signaling for prostate cancer.
