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

Multiple factors contribute to the development of prostate carcinoma (PCa) and to its progression to an androgen-independent state. In addition to the expected role of androgens and their receptors in facilitating the development of PCa, mutations in a growing number of candidate hereditary prostate cancer loci and genes, such as RNASEL and MSR1, have been detected, suggesting that defects in critical pathways involving DNA damage response, apoptosis and innate immunity may have a particularly important role in the initiation of PCa. Many somatic mutations, gene deletions, gene amplifications, chromosomal rearrangements, and changes in DNA methylation are detectable in PCa cells at the time of diagnosis. The identification of key molecular alteration cells implicates carcinogen defenses, including GSTP1, growth factor signaling pathways (such as PTEN and p27) and androgens as critical determinants of the phenotype of PCa.
