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

The expression of cutaneous fatty acid-binding protein (C-FABP) in prostate tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry. Among the 76 cases, all seven (100%) normal tissues were unstained. Of the 35 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 25 (71.4%) specimens were unstained and 10 (28.6%) were stained positively. For the 34 prostatic carcinomas, the C-FABP expression was remarkably increased: 25 (73.5%) samples stained positively, and only nine (26.5%) were unstained. Transfection of a vector expressing an antisense C-FABP transcript into the PC-3M prostatic cancer cells yielded two transfectant lines: PC-3M-CFABP-1 and PC-3M-CFABP-3, producing, respectively, a 3.8- and a 6.9-fold reduction in C-FABP levels. Comparing with the control transfectants, the in vitro invasiveness of both PC-3M-CFABP-1 and PC-3M-CFABP-3 was significantly reduced. When tested in nude mouse, the average size of tumours produced by PC-3M-CFABP-1 and by PC-3M-CFABP-3 was reduced by 2.9- and 4.2-fold respectively, in comparison with that of tumours produced by the control transfectants. Analysis showed that the decreased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel densities in the tumours were associated with the reduced C-FABP. These data show that C-FABP is increased in prostatic carcinoma cells and suppression of its expression can significantly inhibit the tumorigenicity, probably by reducing the expression of VEGF.
