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

CXCL14 is a highly conserved chemokine expressed in various cell types, playing crucial roles in both physiological and pathological processes, including immune regulation and tumorigenesis. Recently, the role of CXCL14 in tumors has attracted considerable attention. However, previous pan-cancer studies have reported inconsistencies regarding the effects of CXCL14 on tumors, particularly concerning its expression levels in tumor tissues and its influence on various phenotypes of cancer cells. This variability is believed to stem from the context-dependent nature of CXCL14, as different sources of CXCL14 and its secretion within distinct tumor microenvironments may mediate diverse biological effects. Such phenomena have also been observed in prostate cancer research. Despite a foundational understanding of CXCL14 in prostate cancer, there remains a lack of comprehensive reviews summarizing the specific roles of this chemokine and systematically analyzing the reasons behind its complex effects. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the role of CXCL14 in the tumor microenvironment of prostate cancer and explore future research directions and potential applications.
