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

Signalling by the steroid hormone testosterone involves the androgen receptor (AR), a structurally dynamic protein. The amino-terminal domain of the AR makes up more than half of the protein and has been found to be intrinsically disordered. This structural plasticity mediates receptor-dependent transcription, intradomain interactions and allosteric regulation. AR activity is a primary drug target in advanced and metastatic prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related death in men. Recent research has focused on the amino-terminal domain as a novel drug target. In this review, we discuss the structural properties of the receptor and highlight some promising preclinical and clinical studies that aim to develop a drug discovery pipeline of small-molecule inhibitors targeting the amino-terminal domain.
