ATP-gated P2X7 receptor as a potential target for prostate cancer.
Review in Human cell, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy of the male genitourinary system and is one of the leading causes of male cancer death. The P2X7 receptor is an important member of purine receptor family. It is a gated ion channel with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the ligand, which exists in a variety of immune tissues and cells and can be involved in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Studies have shown that the P2X7 receptor is abnormally expressed in prostate cancer, and is related to the level of prostate-specific antigen, P2X7 receptor may be an early biomarker of prostate cancer. The P2X7 receptor is essential in the occurrence and development of prostate cancer. The P2X7 receptor mainly affects the invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cells through epithelial mesenchymal transition/invasion-related genes and the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. The P2X7 receptor could be a promising therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
