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

purposeTMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion negatively regulates PSMA expression in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) cell lines. Therefore, immunohistochemical (IHC) ERG expression, a surrogate for an underlying ERG rearrangement, and PSMA expression patterns in radical prostatectomy (RPE) specimens of primary PCa, including corresponding PSMA-PET scans were investigated.

methodsTwo cohorts of RPE samples (total n=148): In cohort #1 (n=62 patients) with available RPE and preoperative [

resultsCohort #1: PCa with IHC-ERG expression (35.5%) showed significantly lower IHC-PSMA expression and lower SUV

conclusionIHC-ERG expression is significantly associated with more heterogeneous and lower IHC-PSMA tissue expression in two independent RPE cohorts. There is a strong association of ERG positivity in RPE tissue with lower [
