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

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major global health concern, particularly in advanced stages where chemotherapy resistance and androgen-independent tumor growth reduce survival rates to below 30%. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), regulated by tumor suppressor p53, is a promising therapeutic target due to its role in tumor cell apoptosis. However, chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs), a known carcinogen, has been linked to PCa progression and reduced TLR3 expression and activation by polyinosinic/polycytidylic acid (Poly(I/C)), a synthetic ligand used in PCa immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrate that chronic sodium arsenite (NaAsO) exposure increases p53 transcript and protein levels in immortalized prostate epithelial cells. Despite this, key p53 target genes, including
