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

Coagulation system activation is commonly observed in tumor patients, including prostate cancer (PCa), with coagulation markers proposed as potential prognostic indicators for cancer severity. However, the correlation between these markers and clinicopathological features in PCa remains unclear. Thus, this study investigates the association between comprehensive coagulation markers and clinicopathological characteristics in PCa patients. A retrospective evaluation of 162 PCa patients diagnosed and categorized into low-intermediate-risk or high-risk groups based on clinical and pathological features was conducted. Coagulation markers, including fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (DD), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin activity (PTA), thrombin time (TT), platelet count (PLT), and international normalized ratio (INR), were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine associations with clinicopathological features. FIB and DD were confirmed as independent factors associated with high-risk PCa. Furthermore, FIB and DD levels showed significant positive correlations with clinical parameters, including PSA levels, ISUP grade, T stage, N stage, and M stage. Our findings suggest that FIB and DD hold promise as independent prognostic biomarkers for risk stratification in PCa. These coagulation markers may aid in assessing PCa severity and guiding personalized treatment strategies.
