Emerging Therapeutic Approaches to Engage the Androgen Receptor for the Treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains a major clinical challenge, with disease progression frequently occurring despite the use of potent androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies. As AR signalling continues to drive tumour growth in this setting, new therapeutic strategies are being developed to disrupt the AR axis through both direct and indirect mechanisms. This review highlights a selection of promising agents in preclinical or clinical development that represent the next generation of therapies targeting AR signalling. Direct approaches include novel agents that degrade the AR or target domains beyond the conventional ligand-binding domain, aiming to overcome resistance to existing anti-androgens. Indirect strategies are designed to interfere with AR function by modulating AR-associated transcriptional co-regulators, chromatin accessibility, and other regulatory proteins, such as splicing factors, that are critical for sustaining AR-driven gene expression in prostate cancer. Together, these therapies form the basis of emerging strategies to more effectively suppress AR activity in CRPC. This review discusses AR-activating mechanisms, the mechanisms of action of these agents, their clinical development status, and their potential to reshape future treatment paradigms in CRPC.
