Article in Anticancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
aimGonadotropin-releasing hormone 2 (GNRH2) is a poorly-studied peptide hormone that is widely distributed in the central nervous system and expressed in peripheral tissues of mammals. The non-synonymous rs6051545 variant in GNRH2 (A16V) has been linked to higher serum testosterone concentrations. This study investigated whether the A16V variant is associated with altered androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe examined the expression of GNRH2 in prostate tissue microarrays comprising normal tissue, prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer using immunofluorescence. We also evaluated the GNRH2 genotype in 131 patients with prostate cancer who received ADT and compared PFS and OS between the variant and wild-type genotypes.
resultsGNRH2 was detected in all prostate tissues, although expression did not vary with Gleason grade or disease stage (p=0.71). The GNRH2 A16V genotype was not associated with PFS or OS; however, univariate and multivariate analyses revealed Gleason score and definitive local therapy were each associated with PFS (p≤0.0074), whereas age and Gleason score were associated with OS (p≤0.0046).
conclusionGNRH2 is expressed in normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic prostate tissues; the A16V variant is not related to treatment outcome or survival.
