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

Intraprostatic leukocyte function may vary depending on local inflammatory or malignant cell microenvironment. Interleukin (IL)-17 producing cells play key roles in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. Little is known about the relevance of IL-17 producing cells at sites of prostate tissue inflammation and/or prostate adenocarcinoma. In this study, we analyzed thirty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded whole-mount radical prostatectomy specimens of prostate cancer patients. Immunohistochemistry was employed to identify IL-17 producing cells in all sites of mononuclear cell accumulation, noting their relationships to areas of prostate cancer, proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), or hyperplastic benign tissue. Levels of IL-17 producing cells were similar in zones of benign prostate tissue and areas of prostate cancer. Pronounced intraluminal and peri-glandular IL-17 producing cell accumulations were identified in the mononuclear cell infiltrates associated with PIA lesions. Glandular and peri-glandular CD68+ macrophages and neutrophils were the predominant IL-17 producing cells in PIA lesions. The accumulation of IL-17 expressing cells in PIA lesions presents direct evidence of an inflammatory microenvironment that may support the development of prostate cancer.
