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

Objective: Prostate cancer growth is dependent upon androgens and hence therapies often target this signalling axis. These therapies, for example the antiandrogen enzalutamide, are successful in the majority of men; however, resistance is inevitable and the tumour progresses to the castrate-resistant stage, a disease of unmet clinical need. Consequently, there is a great need for novel therapeutics for castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Thieno[2,3- Methods: The effect of the compounds upon prostate cancer proliferation and motility was assessed in a panel of cell lines representing different stages of the disease and non-tumorigenic controls. The effect of the compounds upon cell morphology and cell death was assessed using imaging and flow cytometry, respectively. The efficacy of the lead compound was also assessed in a patient-derived explant model. Results: The compounds were found to inhibit prostate cancer proliferation and motility, promote G2/M arrest, multinucleation and apoptosis. Importantly, treatment of patient-derived explants with the lead compound DJ160 demonstrated that the molecule inhibits prostate cancer proliferation, even in samples that appear to be resistant to enzalutamide. Conclusions: Thieno[2,3-
