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

The relationship between plasma levels of total phospholipids (PL) and/or PL fractions and neoplastic diseases are not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze concentrations and distribution of plasma phospholipids in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) related to the Gleason score, clinical stage and pathologic grade of prostate cancer. We analyzed plasma phospholipids in 57 newly diagnosed, untreated PCa patients and in 43 age-matched healthy male subjects. Significantly lower (P < 0.01) levels of total plasma PL and all PL classes were found in PCa patients when compared with healthy subjects. The relative concentrations of PL fractions were also changed. Further decrease of total PL and PL fractions was found related to an increase of clinical stadium, pathologic grade, and Gleason score, with phosphatidylethanolamine as the most sensitive plasma PL, the level of which significantly decreased even at the first stage of PCa. Our results showed an altered plasma PL profile in PCa patients, which may contribute to monitoring of the disease progression.
