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

Over the last 15 years, immunotherapy has revolutionised treatment paradigms and improved outcomes in a range of malignancies. Despite these advances, the role of immunotherapy in standard prostate cancer (PCa) management is limited, and Sipuleucel-T is the only approved immunotherapeutic agent. This article reviews the role of checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), T-cell engagers (TCEs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in PCa treatment. Phase II/III trials of ICIs as monotherapy or combination treatment have been negative to date. Early phase data for TCE are promising, but the feasibility of adoption of TCEs into the clinic will depend on overcoming neutralising anti-drug antibodies and limiting toxicities. CAR-T cells have demonstrated feasibility and acceptable safety profiles in early phase clinical trials, and it is hoped that the ongoing development of later-generation constructs and therapeutic combinations will enhance outcomes.
