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 aim of this study was to investigate the associations of myosin light chain (MYL9) downregulation with tumor progression and prognosis in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). MYL9 protein expression in human PCa and non-cancerous prostate tissues was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry analyses, which was validated by microarray-based Taylor data at mRNA level. Then, the associations of MYL9 expression with clinicopathological features and clinical outcome of PCa patients were statistically analyzed. Both Western blot and immunohistochemistry analyses found that MYL9 expression was significantly decreased (both P < 0.001) in PCa tissues compared with those in non-cancerous prostate tissues. In addition, MYL9 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of stromal cells of prostate tissues, and the decreased expression of MYL9 in PCa tissues was significantly correlated with the older age of patients (P = 0.011), the higher Gleason score (P < 0.001), the advanced pathological stage (P = 0.002), the presence of metastasis (P < 0.001) and PSA failure (P = 0.001). Furthermore, both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the downregulation of MYL9 was an independent predictor of shorter overall survival (P = 0.026 and P = 0.009, respectively) and biochemical recurrence-free survival (P = 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). Our data strongly confirmed for the first time that the decreased expression of MYL9 may play an important role in tumor progression of PCa. More importantly, the downregulation of MYL9 may efficiently predict both overall and biochemical recurrence-free survivals in PCa patients.
