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 is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality among men worldwide, necessitating the exploration of prognostic biomarkers to aid in accurate risk assessment and treatment decision-making. This cross-sectional study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the role of Ki-67 as a prognostic marker in prostate cancer by examining its association with clinicopathological parameters. A total of 102 archived cases of prostate core biopsy specimens, histopathologically reported as prostate carcinoma, were included in this study. Histopathological grading was conducted using Gleason's scoring and grading system based on morphology. The statistical software "R" was utilized for data analysis. Kruskal-Wallis test and Fisher's exact test were employed to analyze the association between Ki-67 expression and clinicopathological parameters. The study revealed significant correlations between Ki-67 expression and various clinicopathological parameters in prostate cancer cases. High Ki-67 expression levels were associated with higher Gleason scores, increased incidence of perineural invasion, advanced T stages, lymph node metastasis, presence of distant metastasis, and higher prognostic stage groups. The findings of this cross-sectional study support the potential of Ki-67 as a prognostic marker in prostate cancer. The significant associations observed between Ki-67 expression and clinicopathological parameters indicate its usefulness in risk stratification and treatment decision-making. The incorporation of histopathological grading, including Gleason scoring, and analysis of perineural invasion strengthens the validity of the study. Ki-67, in combination with morphological assessments, provides valuable prognostic information for prostate cancer patients.
