A panel of plasma proteins associated with venous thromboembolism in patients with prostate cancer.
Article in Cancer biomarkers : section A of Disease markers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
PurposeVenous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Prostate cancer is associated with an elevated risk of VTE, yet the molecular drivers remain poorly defined.MethodsIn this study, we employed high-throughput proteomic profiling using the SomaLogic platform to analyze plasma from 85 prostate cancer patients, including 43 with and 42 without VTE. Samples were collected at cancer diagnosis, with VTE diagnosed at a mean of 96.8 months later.ResultsPrincipal component analysis showed modest proteomic separation between groups. Differential expression analysis identified enriched pathways in VTE patients, including hemostasis (TIMP1, JAM2, TMX3, F3, and ESAM), cell adhesion (CXCL12, CCL11, CCN5, COL18A1, and ADGRB1) and cell proliferation (TIMP1, REG1B, REG1A, CRLF2, and ALDH1A2). Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis using top fifteen proteins achieved an area under the curve of 0.859, indicating strong predictive value for VTE in this cohort.ConclusionsWe identified a specific cluster of circulating proteins associated with development of VTE in patients with prostate cancer. This work deepens understanding of systemic mediators of cancer-associated VTE and, pending validation in other cohorts, paves the way for improved risk stratification and long-term monitoring in this population.
