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

The treatment of choice for prostate cancer is androgen deprivation (ADT) and novel hormonal agents such as Abiraterone, Enzalutamide, or Apalutamide. Initially, this therapy is highly effective, but a significant challenge arises as most patients eventually develop resistance, resulting in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Furthermore, the sequential use of these drugs can lead to cross-resistance, diminishing their efficacy. Tumor heterogeneity plays a pivotal role in the development of resistance to different treatments. This study utilized cellular models of CRPC to assess the response to Apalutamide when it was administered as a second- or third-line treatment. Functional and genetic analyses were conducted in various CRPC cell models exposed to Apalutamide. These analyses included real-time cell monitoring assays, flow cytometry, clonogenicity assays, and RT-qPCR. CRPC cell models were capable of continued proliferation, maintained cell cycle profiles similar to those of untreated cells, and retained their clonogenic potential. Cross-resistance to Apalutamide in models of ADT, ADT plus Enzalutamide, or Abiraterone resistance did not correlate with the expression levels of
