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

Although it is the most widely used biomarker for prostate cancer, the use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is controversial due to its limitations in specificity and sensitivity. The proteasome is a complex associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis, and the abnormity of these processes may lead to tumor occurrence. Previous studies have reported that proteasomal activity is associated with cancer progression and can be used in risk stratification. The purpose of the present study was thus to investigate the feasibility of proteasome activity as a biomarker for prostate cancer. Proteasome activity
