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

Tumor-adjacent normal (TAN) tissues, which constitute tumor microenvironment and are different from healthy tissues, provide critical information at molecular levels that can be used to differentiate aggressive tumors from indolent tumors. In this study, we analyzed 52 TAN samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) prostate cancer patients and developed a 10-gene prognostic model that can accurately predict biochemical recurrence-free survival based on the profiles of these genes in TAN tissues. The predictive ability was validated using TAN samples from an independent cohort. These 10 prognostic genes in tumor microenvironment are different from the prognostic genes detected in tumor tissues, indicating distinct progression-related mechanisms in two tissue types. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the prognostic genes in tumor microenvironment were significantly enriched by p53 signaling pathway, which may represent the crosstalk tunnels between tumor and its microenvironment and pathways involving cell-to-cell contact and paracrine/endocrine signaling. The insight acquired by this study has advanced our knowledge of the potential role of tumor microenvironment in prostate cancer progression.
