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

Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), along with its ligand high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), is believed to play an important role in prostate cancer. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the expression of RAGE and HMGB1 and their clinical impact on prostate cancer progression and prognosis. The expression of RAGE and HMGB1 was assessed by immunohistochemistry in cancer lesions from 85 confirmed prostate cancer cases. We determined the potential association between the expression level of these two proteins and the clinicopathological features and overall patient survival. RAGE and HMGB1 were expressed in 78.8% (67/85) and 68.2% (58/85) cases of prostate cancer, respectively, and in the majority (54/85) of cases, these two proteins were co-expressed. There was a strong correlation between RAGE and HMGB1 expressions (P<0.001). The expression of RAGE, HMGB1 and their co-expression were all associated with advanced tumor clinical stage (P<0.05 for all). RAGE expression was also associated with the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level (P=0.014). However, neither the individual expression of those genes nor their co-expression was significantly related with age or Gleason score. The co-expression of RAGE and HMGB1 was associated with poor overall survival in patients with stage III and IV prostate cancer (P=0.047). These results suggest that the expression of RAGE and HMGB1 is associated with the progression and poor prognosis of prostate cancer. RAGE and HMGB1 could be new prognostic biomarkers for prostate cancer as well as molecular target for novel forms of therapies.
