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

High levels of androgen receptor (AR) are associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and monotherapy with AR antagonists such as enzalutamide (Enz) is currently inadequate to meet the clinical needs. Dual-targeted therapeutic strategy of AR degradation combined with AR inhibition is a promising strategy to improve the efficacy and to address the problem of drug resistance in CRPC, thus the development of safer, stable, and effective agents with AR-degrading activity is urgent. In our study, we found that daidzein, a phytoestrogen, could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, exhibited a good affinity for AR and down-regulated AR levels. Consequently, we developed daidzein-based, redox-responsive self-therapeutic nanocarriers to deliver Enz (D44DA@Enz NPs) to realize the dual-targeted therapeutic strategy against AR in CRPC. The results showed that D44DA NPs facilitated AR degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, which combined with the inhibitory effect of Enz on AR nuclear translocation greatly improved the efficacy against CRPC.
