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

(1) Background: The gold standard, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening lacks the sensitivity and specificity required for confident, early prostate-cancer detection. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, highly stable, non-coding RNAs whose expression changes reproducibly in malignancy and therefore offer promise as minimally invasive biomarkers. Although prostate cancer biopsies are the gold standard for prostate cancer diagnosis, limitations in the field continue to persist. Since circulating fluids can also be a source of miRNA biomarkers, we investigated the overlap between miRNAs enriched in prostate cancer tissue and those isolated from the plasma of patients with prostate cancer. (2) Methods: We synthesized the published literature (PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, 2005-April 2025) and re-analyzed three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE54516, GSE21032-tissue; GSE206793-plasma) to identify miRNAs consistently dysregulated in prostate cancer tissue and circulation. (3) Results: Of the 318 screened full-text articles, 24 met the inclusion criteria. From the GEO reanalysis (false-discovery-rate < 0.05, |log
