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

objectiveProstate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) is asymptomatic in the early stages and most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which leads to a poor prognosis. Therefore, an effective prognostic marker is required to improve PRAD prognosis.

methodsA total of 128 patients with PRAD were included in the study. PSMA3-AS1 and miR-29a-3p expression in tissues was detected using RT-qPCR. CCK-8 and Transwell assays were then used to evaluate the proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of prostate cancer cell lines. A DLR assay confirmed the binding relationship between PSMA3-AS1 and miR-29a-3p. The five-year prognosis of PRAD patients was analyzed using a Kaplan-Meier plotter curve.

resultsPSMA3-AS1 was highly expressed in PRAD tissues, and patients with high expression had poor 5-year survival. In contrast, miR-29a-3p was poorly expressed in PRAD tissues. PSMA3-AS1 bound to miR-29a-3p in a targeted manner and the levels showed a negative correlation. Knocking down PSMA3-AS1 could increase the level of miR-29a-3p and slow the proliferation of PRAD cell lines, as well as inhibiting their migration and invasion ability.

conclusionA high level of PSMA3-AS1 was strongly linked to a poor prognosis for patients and is expected to serve as a prognostic marker for PRAD. Furthermore, PSMA3-AS1 knockdown increased the level of miR-29a-3p and reduced the physiological activity of cancer cells. Therefore, regulating the expression of the PSMA3-AS1/miR-29a-3p axis could influence PRAD development.
