Fascin is secreted in male's serum: results of a pilot study.
Article in Future science OA, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
aimFascin is a 55 kDa globular protein with an important role in cell migration. Aim of study was to investigate serum fascin in healthy males. MATERIALS &
methodsFrom 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016, we collected serum from 46 males. Serum fascin level was performed using ELISA kit from USBiological (Salem, MA, USA).
resultsMedian age was 64 years. Mean fascin serum level was 9.84 ng/ml, mean prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 2.74 ng/ml and mean prostate volume was 37.64 cc. The 51-60 years group had a mean of 10.53 ng/ml, the 61-70 group a mean of 9.7 ng/ml and the 71-80 group had a mean of 9.41 ng/ml fascin serum level.
conclusionFascin serum level did not differ according to age in males.
