Small Integrin binding Ligand N-linked Glycoproteins, prostate-specific antigen and time to prostate cancer diagnosis.
Article in Matrix biology plus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSmall Integrin Binding Ligand N-linked Glycoproteins (SIBLINGs
methodsA retrospective longitudinal case control study was performed to determine the association of SIBLINGs and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with preclinical disease. Paired serum samples from 109 cancer-free Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging participants were divided into those that were either most distal or proximal to diagnosis (cases) or censored (controls). Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), and PSA were measured by immunoassay and dichotomized into low or high based on their respective cut-off values. Associations of time to diagnosis or death, modeled as disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS), were assessed using Kaplan Meier and Cox proportional hazard survival estimates on individual and aggregated biomarkers in distal or proximal sets separately. Models were adjusted for relevant covariates. A false discovery rate analysis assessed significance of hazard ratios (HRs) in sets.
resultsBiomarkers/aggregates identified as true discoveries for DFS included DSPP + PSA, OPN + PSA, DSPP + BSP + PSA, DSPP + OPN + PSA, where unadjusted distal HRs ranged between 11 and 27 and after adjusting for age from 7 to 15, while proximal HRs ranged between 6 and 10 unadjusted and 5 to 12 after adjusting for age. For proximal OS, true discoveries included DSPP + BSP, DSPP + OPN, DSPP + BSP + OPN, and DSPP + OPN + PSA where unadjusted HRs ranged between 6 and 20 while age-adjusted HRs ranged between 5 and 12.
conclusionsThese observations support SIBLINGs as biomarkers that associate with DFS and OS in prediagnosis samples.
