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 tyrosine kinase Src is frequently activated in advanced human prostate carcinomas and its activation correlates with tyrosine phosphorylation of the RNA-binding protein Sam68. Herein, we have investigated the expression and function of Sam68 in human prostate cancer cells. Analysis of specimens obtained from 20 patients revealed that Sam68 is upregulated at the protein level in 35% of the samples. Real-time polymerase chain reaction confirmed the results at the mRNA level in most patients. Downregulation of Sam68 by RNAi in LNCaP prostate cancer cells delayed cell cycle progression and reduced the proliferation rate. Moreover, depletion of Sam68 sensitized cells to apoptosis induced by DNA-damaging agents. Similarly, stable cell lines expressing a truncated GFP-Sam68(GSG) protein displayed reduced growth rates and higher sensitivity to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Microarray analyses revealed that a subset of genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis were altered when Sam68 was knocked down in LNCaP cells. Our results indicate that Sam68 expression supports prostate cancer cells proliferation and survival to cytotoxic agents.
