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

Abnormal expression of Holliday junction recognition protein (HJURP) in several types of tumor cells plays a vital role in the formation and progression of tumors. Few studies have investigated the role of HJURP in prostate cancer (PCa). The aim of this study was to analyze the expression levels of HJURP in PCa and to establish the association with clinicopathological data. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical analysis were used to detect the expression levels of HJURP in benign and PCa prostate tissues. The Taylor dataset was statistically analyzed to determine if HJURP expression levels were associated with PCa clinicopathological data. HJURP was overexpressed in PCa tissues compared with benign prostate tissues. Statistical analysis of the Taylor dataset indicated that upregulation of HJURP was significantly associated with positive prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (P=0.004), high Gleason score (P=0.005), advanced pathological stage (P=0.007), metastasis (P<0.001) and PSA failure (P<0.001). Higher HJURP mRNA expression levels were significantly associated with shorter biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival (P<0.001). To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report of HJURP upregulation in PCa tissues. Upregulation of HJURP may predict BCR-free survival and HJURP may be an oncogene that impacts the prognosis of patients with PCa.
