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

Our recent study showing highly recurrent loss of function of DLC1 (deleted in liver cancer 1), a tumor suppressor gene in primary prostate carcinoma (PCA), implicates this gene in the pathogenesis of this disease. To evaluate the response of PCA to oncosuppressive activity of DLC1, we examined now the effects of adenoviral vector for human DLC1 transduction into the DLC1-deficient, androgen-independent (AI) and aggressive human PCA cell lines PC-3 and C4-2-B2. Adenovirus-mediated restoration of DLC1 expression inhibited the proliferation, invasiveness and anchorage-independent growth of PC-3 and C4-2-B2 cells in vitro as well as the tumorigenicity of PC-3 cells in nude mice. It also induced cell-cycle arrest, inhibited the activation of RhoA and the formation of actin stress fibers. DLC1 induced apoptosis in C4-2-B2 cells, whereas it did not elicit such an effect in PC-3 cells. The abundance of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 was greater in PC-3 cells than in C4-2-B2 cells, and PC-3 cells were rendered sensitive to DLC1-induced apoptosis by treatment with the Bcl-2 inhibitor HA14-1. These results suggest that adenovirus-mediated DLC1 transfer, alone or together with other agents, such as inhibitors of Bcl-2 or histone deacetylase, might prove effective in the treatment of aggressive, AI-PCA.
