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
Background: Currently, no biomarkers are able to differentiate lethal from relatively indolent prostate cancer (PCa) within high-risk diseases. Nonetheless, several molecules are under investigation. Amongst them, topoisomerase-II-alpha ( Methods: We included 64 consecutive cM0 high-risk PCa [prostate specific antigen (PSA) >20 ng/mL or Gleason Score (GS) >7 or cT >2] undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). Changes in miR-221 expression and alternative splicing were determined using microarrays. Immunohistochemical determination of Ki67 and TOPIIa were performed using monoclonal antibody MIB-1 and 3F6 respectively. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to predict BCR and CR as multivariate analysis. BCR and CR were defined as three consecutive rises in PSA and PSA >0.2 ng/mL and histologically-proven local recurrence or imaging positive for distant metastasis respectively. Results: We included 64 men. Mean pre-operative PSA was 26.53 (range, 1.3-135); all GSs were ≥7 and pT was ≥ T3 in 78.13%. Positive margins and lymph-nodes were present in 42.19% and 32.81% respectively. At a mean follow-up of 5.7 years (range, 1.8-12.5), 42.18% experienced BCR (n=27), 29.68% CR (n=19) and 7.81% PcD (n=5). On univariate analysis positive nodes (<0.01), seminal vesicle invasion (0.02) and Conclusions:
