Gene-Set Reduction for Analysis of Major and Minor Gleason Scores Based on Differential Gene-Set Expressions and Biological Pathways in Prostate Cancer.

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.
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
The Gleason score (GS) plays an important role in prostate cancer detection and treatment. It is calculated based on a sum between its major and minor components, each ranging from 1 to 5, assigned after examination of sample cells taken from each side of the prostate gland during biopsy. A total GS of at least 7 is associated with more aggressive prostate cancer. However, it is still unclear how prostate cancer outcomes differ for various distributions of GS between its major and minor components. This article applies Significance Analysis of Microarray for Gene-Set Reduction to a real microarray study of patients with prostate cancer and identifies 13 core genes differentially expressed between patients with a major GS of 3 and a minor GS of 4, or (3,4), vs patients with a combination of (4,3), starting from a less aggressive GS combination of (3,3), and moving toward a more aggressive one of (4,4) via gray areas of (3,4) and (4,3). The resulting core genes may improve understanding of prostate cancer in patients with a total GS of 7, the most common grade and most challenging with respect to prognosis.
