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

Early massively-parallel sequencing studies have revealed the mutational landscape of protein-coding genes in prostate cancer. However, most of these studies have not explored the extensive influence of genomic rearrangement in prostate cancer. In a recent Cell article, Baca and colleagues used whole-genome sequencing to tackle this issue, comprehensively surveying the abundance of genomic rearrangements present in a large cohort of 57 prostate cancers. They characterized a wide-spread phenomenon termed 'chromoplexy', which may drive cancer evolution through the phenomena of punctuated equilibrium by concurrently dysregulating numerous cancer genes across multiple chromosomes. While the causes of this event still require elucidation, this defining discovery undoubtedly offers an important glimpse into the evolutionary process of prostate cancer.
