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 androgen receptor (AR) pathway plays a fundamental role in the treatment of prostate cancer, from the localized stage to metastatic disease, even in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Despite the significant benefit for the earlier use of second-generation AR pathway inhibitors (ARPI), treatment resistance is still emerging. A deeper understanding of the biology of ARPI resistance is crucial for developing new therapeutic targets. In this review, we will explore the biology of second-generation ARPI resistance and discuss the evolving landscape of third-generation ARPI and steroid hormone inhibitors, which are shaping the future of prostate cancer therapeutics. Targeting the biosynthesis of steroid precursors with CYP11A1 inhibition, inducing AR degradation with proteolysis-targeting chimera degraders or restoring ARPI sensitivity with EZH2 inhibitors are among the most advanced strategies in development. Alongside these new drugs, AR genomic alterations and particularly AR mutations emerge as a promising biomarker for patient selection. These innovative therapeutics help bring more personalized approaches to patients with prostate cancer, aiming to overcome resistance and improve patient outcomes.
