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 major heat shock protein Hsp72 is expressed at high levels in various types of cancer. Here we attempt to clarify the role of Hsp72 in prostate cancer cells by studying the effects of specific downregulation of this protein using siRNA and antisense RNA approaches. Contrary to previous reports, specific depletion of Hsp72 did not reduce viability of the prostate carcinoma cell lines PC-3 and DU-145. However, even short-term downregulation of Hsp72 in these cells made them more sensitive to hyperthermia, inhibitors of proteasome and Hsp90, and tumor necrosis factor. Interestingly, prolonged downregulation of Hsp72 in PC-3 cells over 3 weeks aggravated these effects, as well as enhanced the sensitivity of cells to oxidative stress, radiation, cis-platinum, vinblastin and taxol. The increased sensitivity to the anticancer agents was due to increased apoptosis, as well as other types of cell death, which resulted in the loss of clonogenic survival. Prolonged downregulation of Hsp72 led to severe suppression of the major survival pathways, ERK and NF-kappaB, which may be responsible for enhanced sensitivity of prostate carcinoma cells to a variety of anticancer treatments, as well as reduction of the cell's capability of forming colonies in soft agar.
