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

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and the second-leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men worldwide, especially in Western counties. Therapeutic resistance of prostate cancer remains a major challenge in modern oncology, necessitating new scientific understanding of the disease and devising new targeting strategies. This review examines the intricate relationship between transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming, lineage plasticity, and therapeutic resistance in prostate cancer. Prostate cancer cells can adapt and resist various treatment modalities, including androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and next-generation androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors (ARSI), through transcriptional reprogramming and epigenetic modifications. Lineage plasticity, the ability of cells to alter their cellular identities, further drives treatment resistance. Moreover, cancer cells can adjust their gene expression profiles to evade therapy by activating key transcription factors and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression. The article concludes by discussing new therapeutic strategies targeting these reprogramming and plasticity mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of combination therapy and precision medicine in developing more effective treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
