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

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignant neoplasm in men in the developed countries. Although the progression of prostate cancer and the processes of invasion and metastasis by tumor cells are comparatively well understood, the genes involved in these processes are not fully determined. Therefore, a common area of research interest is the identification of novel molecules that are involved in these processes. In the present study, we have used in silico and experimental approaches to compare the expression of embryonal Fyn-associated substrate (EFS) between normal prostate and prostate cancer. We showed that EFS expression is remarkably downregulated in prostate cancer cells, compared to normal prostate cells. We also found that decreased expression of EFS in prostate cancer cells is due to DNA methylation. In addition, we showed that high EFS expression is important to suppress a malignant behavior of prostate cancer cells. Therefore, we suggest that EFS should be considered as a novel tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer.
