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 (PCa) is the second most common cancer amongst males worldwide. In the current study, microarray datasets GSE3325 and GSE6919 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were screened to identify candidate genes that are associated with the progression of PCa. A total of 273 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, which included 173 downregulated genes and 100 upregulated genes, and a protein‑protein interaction network was constructed using Search Tool for the Retired of Interacting Genes. The enriched functions and pathways of the identified DEGs included cell adhesion, the negative regulation of cell proliferation, protein binding and focal adhesion. A total of 8 hub genes were identified, of which PDZ binding kinase, Krüppel‑like factor 4, collagen type XII α‑1 chain, RAP1A and RAP39B were indicated to be associated with the progression and recurrence of PCa. In conclusion, the DEGs and hub genes identified in the present study may aid in determining the molecular mechanisms associated with PCa carcinogenesis and progression.
