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

aimTo identify new biomarkers of prostate cancer (PCa) for the diagnosis and prediction of clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsExisting microarray data of PCa tissues in the Oncomine database were analyzed and candidate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that may be novel and noninvasive biomarkers were obtained. On this basis, plasma mRNA was extracted from PCa patients and healthy donors. Furthermore, plasma mRNA expression of DEGs was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Finally, the diagnostic power of the biomarkers was evaluated in comparison to the clinical characteristics of the patients.

resultsIn this study, the top five significantly overexpressed mRNA (AMACR, PPP1R14b, PCA3, DLX1, and RPL22L1) and the top five significantly underexpressed mRNA (DUOX1, EFS, GSTP1, S100A16, and NCRNA00087) were selected for further validation in PCa patients and healthy donors by qRT-PCR. The results showed that AMACR, DLX1, PCA3, DUOX1, and GSTP1 mRNA were stably amplified in plasma. Additionally, DLX1, PCA3, DUOX1, and GSTP1 mRNA expression was significantly different between PCa circulating free mRNA samples and healthy donors. These mRNAs may be useful biomarkers for PCa diagnosis.

conclusionAnalysis of the expression of genes in the Oncomine database showed that DLX1, PCA3, and DUOX1 expressions have a cancer specific pattern in PCa. Collectively, DLX1, PCA3, and DUOX1 may be useful candidate biomarkers for PCa diagnosis.
