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

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) signaling represents an important pathway regulating cell proliferation, survival, invasion, migration, and metabolism. Notably, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling is frequently dysregulated in the majority of malignancies. Among the class IA PI3Ks (PI3Kα/β/δ), emerging evidence has implicated that PI3Kδ is not only overexpressed in leukocytes but also in solid tumors, including prostate cancer. The critical role of PI3Kδ in tumorigenesis and in the creation of a suppressive tumor microenvironment, along with the recent finding of PI3Kδ splice isoforms in promoting tumor aggressiveness and resistance, further demonstrates the potential of developing novel PI3Kδ-targeted cancer therapies. In this review, we comprehensively describe the functional mechanisms underlying the PI3Kδ-driven tumor progression and immune regulation in prostate cancer diseases. Furthermore, the recent preclinical and clinical studies on the development of PI3Kδ-/PI3K-targeted inhibitors as single agents and in combination therapies (with chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy) are summarized. Finally, we discuss the potential novel therapies for improving the treatment efficacies, as well as the current limitations and challenges of PI3Kδ-based therapies for prostate cancer.
