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 the most prevalent and the second most lethal malignancy among males in the United States of America. Its diagnosis is almost entirely predicated upon histopathological analysis of the biopsied tissue, and it is associated with a substantial average error. Using genome-wide DNA methylation data derived from 469 prostatic tumor tissue samples and 50 normal prostatic tissue samples and interrogating over 485 000 CpG sites per sample (spanning across gene promoters, CpG islands, shores, shelves, gene bodies, and intergenic and other areas), we were able to develop a mathematical model that classified with a high accuracy (overall sensitivity = 95.31% and overall specificity = 94.00%) tumor tissue versus normal tissue. The methylation β values of five CpG sites, corresponding to the genes
