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: 5-Methylcytidine (m5C) methylation is an emerging epigenetic modification in recent years, which is associated with the development and progression of various cancers. However, the prognostic value of m5C regulatory genes and the correlation between m5C methylation and the tumor microenvironment (TME) in prostate cancer remain unknown. Methods: In the current study, the genetic and transcriptional alterations and prognostic value of m5C regulatory genes were investigated in The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Then, an m5C prognostic model was established by LASSO Cox regression analysis. Gene set variation analyses (GSVA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), clinical relevance, and TME analyses were conducted to explain the biological functions and quantify the TME scores between high-risk and low-risk subgroups. m5C regulatory gene clusters and m5C immune subtypes were identified using consensus unsupervised clustering analysis. The Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts algorithm was used to calculate the contents of immune cells. Results: Conclusions: Our comprehensive analysis of m5C regulatory genes in PCa demonstrated their potential roles in the prognosis, clinical features, and TME. These findings may improve our understanding of m5C regulatory genes in the tumor biology of PCa.
