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

At present, the overall genetic and epigenetic effects of Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) on prostate cancer (PCa) remain unclear. Therefore, we systematically investigated the molecular differences in KLFs of transcription expression, promoter methylation and genetic alteration. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression was used to analyse the effect on RFS and establish the prognostic signature in the TCGA cohort, MSKCC and GSE116918 cohorts employed to validate the signature. Biological pathway enrichment and the potential response to immunotherapy and chemotherapy were inferred. The transcription levels of most KLFs are associated with the clinical outcome of PCa. Gleason score (P = .009), pathology T stage (P = .006), KLF3 (P = .034), KLF5 (P = .002) and KLF7 (P = .035) were independent prognostic factors. A prognostic signature was established in the TCGA cohort (P < .001) and validated in the MSKCC (P < .001) and GSE116918 cohorts (P = .006). Demethylation of KLF5 by 5-azacytidine led to increased protein levels, whereas knockdown of KLF5 promoted cell proliferation. Patients in KLF-F were more likely to respond to immunotherapy (P < .001) and bicalutamide (P < .001). In summary, we found that the KLFs and clinical feature-based signatures may improve prognosis prediction in PCa and further promote patient stratification and disease management.
