Intermittent Use of Anti-Hormonal Agents for the Endocrine Therapy of Sex-Hormone-Dependent Breast and Prostate Cancer: A Protocol for a Systematic Review.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Therapies with the continuous administration of anti-hormonal agents in sex-hormone-dependent malignancies such as prostate and breast carcinomas often lead to the development of resistant tumor cells. A systematic evaluation of the use and effects of the intermittent application of endocrine therapy could provide information on the state of knowledge in this research area. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science will be systematically searched using pretested search strategies. Randomized and non-randomized controlled trials, pragmatic trials, case-control, and comparative cohort studies will be eligible. Primary outcomes will be progression-free survival, disease-free survival, and overall survival. The literature retrieved will be selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant data will be extracted from included references into a pre-designed table. The risk of bias will be assessed, and the report of the results will follow PRISMA recommendations and include any deviations from this protocol. The increasing prevalence of breast and prostate cancer and limitations of current therapeutic approaches require a closer look at alternatives. Additionally, to explore new therapeutic agents, modalities of administration should be rigorously reviewed to determine the best regimens for patients. This proposed systematic review aims to summarize and evaluate the current knowledge regarding intermittent endocrine cancer therapy to provide a basis for further research.
