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

Several pathologies affect human prostate, such as prostate cancer (PC), which is the most common non-skin malignant cancer in Western male populations. A complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors (i.e. infectious agents, dietary carcinogens) and hormonal imbalances has been reported to have a fundamental role in PC pathophysiology by evoking chronic inflammation. Thus, chronic inflammation drives prostate carcinogenesis and neoplastic progression. No adequate biomarkers exist until now to guide PC prognosis and treatment. Accordingly, the research has particularly focused its attention on genetic variants in genes, codifying molecules of signaling innate immune/inflammatory and steroid metabolism pathways, which are able to modify the PC genetic susceptibility and clinical disease outcome. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may operate in combination to create a 'risk profile'. Combinations of several inflammatory and sex steroid hormone pathway SNPs are found in PC patients. Thus, their combinations might be used as promising biomarkers in a pre- and post-treatment clinical PC setting. Indeed, their identification may hold promise for the realization of a personalized PC medicine. Many of these aspects are summarized in this report through the elucidation of literature data and the results of our studies.
