Pathogenesis-Guided Biomarker Assessment: A Shift in Prostate Cancer Diagnostics.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Despite prostate cancer being one of the most common malignancies in men, its pathological diagnosis remains plagued by inter-observer variability and diagnostic ambiguity. Traditional morphological assessment and currently available biomarkers such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen), AMACR (Alpha methylacyl CoA racemase), and p63 suffer from poor specificity and clinical reliability. In this review, we present a pathogenesis-guided biomarker discovery strategy that led to the development of a clinically validated biomarker panel-Appl-1, Sortilin, and Syndecan-1. These biomarkers, which reflect fundamental biological processes within the endosome-lysosome system, offer improved diagnostic precision and prognostic utility for patients with prostate cancer. This review discusses the rationale behind their discovery, the multidisciplinary approach that enabled it, the evidence supporting their use, and their implementation in U.S. clinical practice as a lab-developed test (LDT). We propose this approach as a new diagnostic standard that bridges mechanistic insight with real-world application.
