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

introductionProstate cancer is a common urology malignant in males, ranking second globally. The disease is especially severe when diagnosed alongside hypertension. MKI67 is an established marker of neoplastic cell proliferation in humans, but the significance of its prognostic value in patients with prostate cancer and hypertension requires further research.

methodsIn this retrospective analysis, we evaluated 296 hypertensive prostate cancer patients between March 2, 2012, and November 1, 2015. We used Cox regression models and prediction analysis to assess overall survival. Furthermore, we created a nomogram and verified its accuracy using a calibration curve.

resultsOf all participants, 101 (34.12%) died. Our multi-factor analysis revealed that MKI67 expression was associated with an increased hazard ratio of death (> fivefold) (Hazard Ratio 5.829, 95% CI 3.349-10.138, p value < 0.01) and progression (twofold) (HR 2.059, 95% CI 1.368-3.102, p value < 0.01). Our Lasso analysis model displayed that several factors, including heart failure, smoking, ACS, serum albumin, Gealson score, prognostic nutritional index, MKI67 expression, surgery, and stage were high risks of prostate cancer. To ensure each covariate's contribution to cancer prognosis, we created a Cox model nomogram, which accurately predicted the risk of death (C-statistic of 0.8289) and had a proper calibration plot for risk assessment.

conclusionMKI67 expression predicts poor outcomes for overall mortality in prostate cancer and hypertension patients. Additionally, our cross-validated multivariate score, which includes MKI67, demonstrated accuracy efficacy of predicting prognosis.
