The heat of the battle: inflammation's role in prostate cancer development and inflammation-targeted therapies.
Review in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
In prostate cancer (PC), chronic inflammation silently guides disease progression, playing a significant role. As a major global health concern, PC contributes to high mortality rates and rising new cases worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for research into the molecular mechanisms behind this disease. Notably, the persistence of inflammation actively promotes cancer development, including in PC. This review explores the complex relationship between inflammation and PC, examining the molecular pathways, genetic and environmental factors, and clinical implications involved in inflammation-driven carcinogenesis. From cellular and molecular elements of the inflammatory microenvironment to mechanisms like epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and inflammasome activation, these processes highlight inflammation's influence on PC progression and metastasis. Furthermore, this review discusses current therapeutic strategies targeting inflammation in PC management and identifies future research directions aimed at unraveling the complexities of inflammation-induced PC (Supplementary Fig. 1). It defines the complex relationship between inflammation and PC, emphasizes the importance of targeting inflammation therapeutically and highlights innovative approaches in PC treatment.
