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

backgroundThis study aimed to predict and explore the possible clinical value and mechanism of genetic markers in prostate cancer (PCa) using a bioinformatics analysis method. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe RNA-seq data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The hub genes were screened by building protein-protein interaction (PPI) subnetworks with four topological analysis methods. The overall survival analysis of hub genes was conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves. Furthermore, the bioinformatics results were confirmed in 102 PCa samples collected in our hospital. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to provide information about the molecular mechanisms underlying PCa.

resultsAmong 13 hub genes, the high expression of GTSE1 or KIF18B was associated with worse overall survival according to the TCGA samples. Immunoreactive scores for GTSE1 staining were significantly higher in PCa tissues than in paracancerous tissues (P<0.01). The overall survival time of patients with high GTSE1 expression was shorter than that of patients with low GTSE1 expression (P=0.015). GSEA demonstrated that high GTSE1 expression was mainly enriched in the cell cycle (P<0.001), DNA replication (P<0.001), mismatch repair (P<0.001), and p53 signaling pathway (P<0.001).

conclusionGTSE1 expression was significantly high in PCa and associated with poor prognosis. GTSE1 may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in PCa patients.
