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

BACKGROUND/

aimWe have previously found elevated levels of endoglin (CD105) in the prostate cancer (PC) tissue of men with poor prognosis, compared to men with indolent disease. Herein, we examined whether plasma levels of the soluble form of CD105 (sCD105) differ according to the PC grade at diagnosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe measured sCD105 in 73 subjects with biopsy-confirmed PC at the Durham, North Carolina, Veteran Affairs Health System. The association between sCD105 and intermediate/high-grade PC risk [Gleason Group (GG) 2-5 vs. 1] was examined using regression models.

resultsOf 73 men, 27 had low-grade PC and 46 high-grade PC. Higher GG was linked to lower sCD105 (GG1: 6938 pg/ml, GG2-3: 6150 pg/ml, GG4-5: 5554 pg/ml; p=0.012). On multivariable analysis, lower sCD105 was associated with increased high-grade PC risk (OR

conclusionLower sCD105 levels were associated with intermediate and high-risk PC. Further investigation is warranted in a larger PC cohort.
