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

Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death among men worldwide, with limited therapeutic options for castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of doxazosin, an α1-blocker, as an adjunctive therapy for mCRPC in combination with abiraterone. Using mCRPC PC3 cells, the effects of doxazosin on cell viability and apoptosis were assessed. The experimental design was an in vitro study with post-test-only control design. Experimental groups were divided into four groups: control group, doxazosin group, abiraterone group, and combination group (doxazosin and abiraterone). Cell viability was analyzed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, while apoptosis was analyzed using Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). This study found that the IC
