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

Androgen-deprivation therapy is an extremely effective treatment for progressive prostate cancer. Previously, the first-line treatment for progressive prostate cancer was combined androgen blockade (CAB). If the disease progressed to castration-resistant prostate cancer, the administration of androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) was recommended. When elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are seen during CAB treatment, it is important to suspect antiandrogen withdrawal syndrome (AWS), discontinue CAB, and monitor the changes in the serum PSA levels. If a reduction in the patient's PSA levels is subsequently observed, antiandrogens should be discontinued and the patient should be followed, but if their PSA level rises they should be transitioned to ARSI treatment. Recently, there have been reports of withdrawal syndrome (WS) after ARSI treatment. With the increased use of ARSIs, such as abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, and dalorutamide, it is necessary to consider ARSI WS when a patient's serum PSA level increases during ARSI treatment. Unnecessary treatment can be avoided if the confirmation of ARSI WS is prioritized. Conversely, if it is not confirmed there is a risk that second-line treatment will be delayed. This is a review of recent studies of ARSI WS. It also discusses future prospects in this field.
