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

Background: Reliable molecular indicators that can facilitate early detection and prognosis prediction in prostate cancer are still insufficient. Although Transcription 6 (STAT6), ERG, and microRNA-647 (miR-647) have recently been recognized as key participants in tumor-related signaling pathways, their specific biochemical functions in the context of prostate cancer have yet to be clearly defined. This study evaluated the expression profiles of STAT6 mRNA, ERG mRNA, and miR-647 in prostate cancer tissue and explored their associations with clinicopathological features and patient outcomes. Methods: Surgical specimens were obtained from 70 patients, including both prostate cancer tissues and their corresponding adjacent non-tumorous counterparts. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to measure STAT6 mRNA, ERG mRNA, and miR-647 expression. The relationships between biomarker expression and clinical parameters - including age, tumor diameter, lymph node involvement, T stage, and pathological differentiation - were examined. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank comparisons, while Spearman correlation analysis was employed to determine the associations among the examined molecular markers.
