Downregulation of PGM5 expression correlates with tumor progression and poor prognosis in human prostate cancer.

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 (PCa) is the most common malignancy in men in developed countries. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) remains the most widely used serum marker for prostate cancer. Here, we reported that the expression of phosphoglucomutase-like protein 5 (PGM5) is significantly lower in prostate cancer tissue. The low expression of PGM5 and its related gene signature were found to be linked to poor clinical outcome and high Gleason score. In vitro assays showed that overexpression of PGM5 significantly repressed proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells. GO and pathway analyses showed the enrichment of genes in regulation of cell growth and migration, and pathways related in cancer. Our additional results showed that the downregulation of PGM5 is closely related to DNA methylation. Taken together, our findings provide the first evidence that PGM5 expression is associated with prostate cancer progression. These results also highlight a preclinical rationale that PGM5 represents a prognostic marker and a promising target for new therapeutic strategies in prostate cancer.
