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 (PCa) ranks among the most prevalent cancers in men worldwide. Biochemical recurrence (BCR) presents a major clinical challenge in PCa management, with significant prognostic heterogeneity observed among patients post-recurrence. This study aimed to develop machine learning models for predicting both the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa patients. Using WGCNA, we initially identified 16 BCR-related target genes. Cluster analysis revealed these genes were significantly associated with PCa prognosis, drug sensitivity, and immune infiltration. We constructed a robust diagnostic model integrating multiple machine learning algorithms, demonstrating strong predictive capability for PCa. Furthermore, a BCR-related prognostic model built using the LASSO algorithm also yielded satisfactory performance. Among the differentially expressed BCR-associated prognostic genes, COMP emerged as a critical regulatory factor. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed COMP's role in influencing PCa progression. Additionally, COMP demonstrates significant potential as a dual biomarker for both the diagnosis and recurrence prediction of PCa.
