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

African American (AA) men exhibit a relatively high incidence and mortality due to prostate cancer even after adjustment for socioeconomic factors, but the biological basis for this disparity is unclear. Here, we identify a novel region on chromosome 4p16.3 that is lost selectively in AA prostate cancer. The negative regulator of G-protein signaling RGS12 was defined as the target of 4p16.3 deletions, although it has not been implicated previously as a tumor-suppressor gene. RGS12 transcript levels were relatively reduced in AA prostate cancer, and prostate cancer cell lines showed decreased RGS12 expression relative to benign prostate epithelial cells. Notably, RGS12 exhibited potent tumor-suppressor activity in prostate cancer and prostate epithelial cell lines
