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

purposeThe diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer (CaP) continues to be challenging, as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) appears to be overly sensitive and biopsy is the only reliable method for confirmation. Hence, the goal of the study is to identify a biomarker that could distinguish malignant cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) during the early diagnosis of the disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 75 formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) with matching controls, 4 paired metastatic tumors, 6 fresh tumor tissues and BPH (13 cases) with their clinical diagnosis were selected for this study. Prostate cancer cell lines and normal prostate epithelial cell lines were obtained from ATCC and subjected to phenotypic analysis.

resultsWe observed significant differential expression of miR-301a in CaP samples in comparison to BPH and adjacent benign samples. The overexpression of miR-301a activates the invasion/migration of CaP cells. In contrast, silencing miR-301a expression inhibited the colony-forming ability, adhesion, invasion and migration of CaP cells. Similarly, the overexpression of miR-301a increased cell motility in normal RWPE-1 prostate epithelial cells. Our results suggest that miR-301a is differentially expressed between BPH and CaP specimens and that the expression of miR-301a correlates with biochemical recurrence and/or metastasis in CaP patients.

conclusionsThe expression of miR-301a could be a potential marker for metastasis in CaP patients. Detecting miR-301a expression during diagnosis will avoid wait and watch timelines, thus preventing morbidity.
