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

We established a robust and sensitive androgen response element luciferase reporter assay to monitor androgen receptor (AR) activity using KUCaP13 cells, a novel human-derived treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC) cell line. A high-throughput screening using a chemical library to identify potential compounds that induce AR re-expression in KUCaP13 cells revealed 30 candidate molecules potentially enhancing luciferase luminescence; however, subsequent validation steps demonstrated these signals to be false-positives. Despite not achieving the goal of AR re-expression, this study stands as a significant proof-of-concept for the application of high-throughput screening approaches in t-NEPC research.
