Intratumoral heterogeneity drives acquired therapy resistance in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is not curable due to its ability to acquire therapy resistance. Theoretically, acquired therapy resistance can be driven by changes to previously sensitive cancer cells or their environment and/or by outgrowth of a subpopulation of cancer cells with primary resistance. Direct demonstration of the latter mechanism in patients with PCa is lacking. Here we present a case report as proof-of-principle that outgrowth of a subpopulation of cancer cells lacking the genomic target and present prior to therapy initiation can drive acquired resistance to targeted therapy and threaten survival in patients with PCa.
