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

backgroundThe influence of testosterone on the prostate's immune microenvironment remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the dynamics of immune cells in the prostate following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

methodsWe retrospectively compared prostate needle biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens from 33 patients who underwent both procedures, along with neoadjuvant ADT at a single institution. Immune cell infiltration in the cancer and stroma areas was assessed using multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry.

resultsPost-ADT, all immune cells, including CD4

conclusionsThe marked increase in immune cells following ADT suggests an intensified immune response against prostate cancer.
