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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key mediators of cellular signalling and play a vital role in regulating both physiological and pathological processes. In urologically relevant tissues, particularly the prostate, bladder and kidneys, redox processes influence vascular function, immune responses, cell proliferation, metabolic adaptations and programmed cell death. A disruption of redox homeostasis contributes significantly to the development and progression of urological diseases, including prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and renal cell carcinoma. This review article examines the mechanisms underlying the transition from physiological redox regulation to pathological dysregulation, as well as their significance for tumourigenesis, the tumour microenvironment, therapeutic resistance and disease progression. Finally, diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives of redox-based strategies, including innovative approaches such as medical gas plasma, are discussed.
