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 therapy (ADT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC), but responses are transient, and most patients ultimately develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), a largely incurable stage of disease. The mechanisms driving resistance are not yet fully understood. Recent data suggest epigenetic dysregulation driven by alterations in chromatin remodelers and histone-modifying enzymes (HMEs) contributes significantly to prostate cancer (PC) progression and resistance to androgen-directed therapies. HMEs control chromatin structure and transcriptional programs, and their altered activity contributes to androgen resistance and tumor progression. HME inhibitors offer promising therapeutic potential, yet their effects are highly context-dependent, emphasizing the importance of biomarker-guided precision strategies and rational combination therapies. This review highlights the contribution of histone PTMs and HMEs to CRPC progression and discusses their potential as novel strategies to improve clinical outcomes.
