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 (PCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting men worldwide, and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a primary treatment approach. CYP17A1 inhibitors like abiraterone target the steroidogenic pathway to reduce androgen levels, but their clinical efficacy is limited by drug resistance and adverse effects. This study reports the synthesis and evaluation of novel CYP17A1 inhibitors derived from a previously identified hit compound. Several analogs were synthesised, including an unexpected di-cyano derivative, which demonstrated increased potency against CYP17A1 compared to abiraterone. Biological assays revealed that these compounds significantly inhibited CYP17A1 enzymatic activity and altered steroid biosynthesis. Among the newly synthesised inhibitors, compound
