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

RNA modifications are widely distributed in almost all types of RNA, including mRNA, rRNA, miRNA, circRNA, and lncRNA, which are deeply involved in disease initiation and progression and are emerging therapeutic targets in diseases such as cancer, among which N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA modification. Accumulating studies have demonstrated the critical role of m6A during cancer progression and its therapeutic potential in prostate cancer, which is one of the most common malignancies in men worldwide. Here, we reviewed the emerging roles of m6A regulators, including readers, writers, and erasers, and the downstream m6A-modified mRNA and noncoding RNA in prostate cancer. We also discussed the therapeutic potential of targeting m6A in prostate cancer and summarized the emerging agents and technologies, such as the cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas13 in prostate cancer treatment by targeting m6A regulatory pathways. At last, we elucidated the perspective of developing efficient and specific RNA targeting agents and technological platforms to provide new strategies for treating prostate cancer by targeting RNA modifications.
