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

aimsSince many biomarkers of both the tumor and its microenvironment are expected to involve differential expression of divalent proteins capable of protein or peptide ligand interaction, we are developing multivalent nanodevices for the identification of biomarkers in prostate cancer. PATIENTS &

methodsWe compared a multivalent thioredoxin-targeted nanodevice with monovalent thioredoxin in binding to human prostate cell line(s) and freshly frozen tissue specimens obtained after resection from patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer.

conclusionThe nanodevice binds specifically with enhanced avidity to tumor microenvironment-associated stromal cells in prostate cancer tissue specimens. Cells that bind the nanodevice also reacted with antibodies to dimeric thioredoxin reductases 1 and 2, suggesting the utility of the nanodevice as a potentially specific and functional marker of tumor stromal cells.
