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) remains one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related morbidity in men worldwide. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have emerged as crucial regulators of gene expression via binding to RNAs and influencing their stability, localization, alternative splicing, and translation. Aberrant expression of RBPs causes various diseases, including cancer. Growing evidence has indicated that RBPs participate in PCa tumorigenesis, progression, and therapeutic resistance. Specifically, RBPs can regulate cancerous behaviors of the cells, including proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and metastasis. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the biological functions of RBPs, as well as the mechanisms by which they contribute to PCa, highlighting their crucial role in regulating signaling pathways and AR signaling. Furthermore, we discuss the clinical applications of RBPs in PCa as both prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers, as well as their potential as therapeutic targets.
