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

introductionProstate cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in men. Once prostate cancer advances to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the 5-year survival rate can decrease to as low as 14 months. However, the current primary diagnostic method, PSA testing, is associated with a lengthy detection cycle, limited accuracy, and delays in identifying disease progression. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop an imaging technique that enables early and accurate diagnosis of CRPC.

methodsFirst, immunofluorescence was used to verify that the expression of NRP2 on endothelial cells of neovasculature increased with the progression of prostate cancer. Next, NRP2-modified microbubbles (MBs

resultsThis study confirmed the clear colocalization of NRP2 with CD31 in prostate cancer tissues. Secondly, MBs

conclusionRegarding the progression of prostate cancer, the expression of NRP2 on neovascular endothelial cells gradually increases, potentially serving as a molecular target for early diagnosis of CRPC. The attached MBs
