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

Androgen deprivation therapies targeting the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway are the primary treatment strategy for prostate cancer. However, these therapies often lead to castration resistance. Developing novel agents targeting AR-independent oncogenes is critical to address this challenge, particularly for advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer. This study identified three potential tumor drivers of advanced prostate cancer, including CDC20, DTL, and RRM2, through integrative bioinformatic screening that considered gene dependency using CRISPRi/RNAi database, clinical relevance, and experimental validation with CRISPR-Cas13-mediated gene ablation. Further mechanistic studies revealed that CDC20, DTL, and RRM2 were transcriptionally regulated by the RB1/E2F1 axis, mediating cell cycle progression in prostate cancer. Additionally, we identified novel agents targeting these candidates through virtual screening and drug-sensitive tests, utilizing our established small-molecule library. These agents exhibited superior anti-tumor efficacy compared with AR antagonists
