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) exhibits marked biological heterogeneity, complicating accurate identification of aggressive disease at initial diagnosis. This study investigated whether circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) methylation markers enhance detection and risk stratification across the PCa disease continuum. Plasma samples from the initial hospital visit were obtained from 280 participants in the PerPros prostate biobank (Vejle, Denmark), all referred with suspected PCa. Following diagnostic work-up, participants were classified across the PCa disease spectrum or as biopsy-confirmed PCa-free controls. Five methylated CpG regions (
