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

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, showing a wide range of clinical behaviors. Therefore, several treatment options arise out of the diagnosis "prostate cancer". For this reason, it is desirable to find novel prognostic and predictive markers. In former studies, we showed that THSD7A expression is associated with unfavorable prognostic parameters in prostate cancer and is linked to a high expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Recently, scavenger receptor class A member 5 (SCARA5) was reported to be the downstream gene of THSD7A in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. SCARA5 is believed to play an important role in the development and progression of several different tumor types. Most studies describe SCARA5 as a tumor suppressor. There is also evidence that SCARA 5 interacts with FAK. To examine the role of SCARA5 as a potential biomarker in prostate cancer, a total of 461 prostate cancers were analyzed via immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays. Furthermore, we compared the expression level of SCARA5 with our previously collected data on THSD7A and FAK. High SCARA5 expression was associated with advanced tumor stage (
