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

backgroundProstate cancer is one of the most common solid tumors and the second leading cause of the death due to malignancy in men. Caspase 9 (CASP9) is a member of the intrinsic pathway and plays a central role in the apoptosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsGenotyping of the CASP9 (rs1052576) polymorphism were performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction for blood samples of prostate cancer patients (n=69) and controls (n=76).

resultsThere were no significant differences between the groups in the frequency of CASP9 genotypes (χ

conclusionCASP9 (rs1052576) C allele was decreasing the risk for pathological stage of patients with prostate cancer and also CT genotype had positive impact on pathological stage of patients with prostate cancer. CASP9 (rs1052576) TT genotype was seemed to be associated with higher risk of pathological stage. Those results implicated that CASP9 variations could be associated with severity of prostate cancer.
