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

Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy, with clinical courses widely differing between indolent and aggressive lethal disease. This heterogeneity calls for a more personalized approach towards diagnosis, prognosis, treatment decision, monitoring and follow-up of patients. In this review, we discuss the possibilities and drawbacks of detecting RNA biomarkers in biological fluids to improve disease-specific survival and quality of life. In particular, we examine literature on long non-coding RNAs in blood and urine of prostate cancer patients. We thereby specifically focus on the need for standard operation procedures on many different levels, analytical validation, clinical validation, and assessment of clinical utility. We argue that thorough multi-step validation of putative biomarkers is necessary for successful translation into clinical prostate cancer care. Our recommendations may also prove useful to biomarker research in other cancers.
