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 (PC) is a highly prevalent malignancy in men with substantial prognostic heterogeneity. The present study aimed to identify novel prognostic biomarkers and investigate their functional roles and underlying mechanisms in PC. To this end, integrated bioinformatics analyses were performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas‑prostate adenocarcinoma cohort and two Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. A total of 95 common differentially expressed genes were identified and were significantly enriched in the STAT3 signaling pathway. Lasso and Cox regression analyses screened nine independent prognostic genes, among which SRRT exhibited the highest risk coefficient. The constructed risk model showed strong predictive performance for disease‑free survival and favorable calibration in nomogram analysis. Experimental validation demonstrated that SRRT was markedly upregulated in PC tissues and cell lines, and functional assays revealed that SRRT knockdown inhibited, whereas overexpression promoted, proliferation and migration of DU145 and PC‑3 cells
