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

IL-8 produced by prostate cancer cells may be responsible for the androgen-independent growth of advanced prostate cancers. Accumulating evidence from microarray analyses and animal genetic models highlights the central involvement of the transcription factor early growth response-1 (EGR-1) in prostate carcinoma progression. It is unknown, however, whether knockdown of EGR-1 inhibits IL-8 production and IL-8-mediated tumor metastasis. Here we show that EGR-1 knockdown by a specific shRNA-Egr1 inhibited gene transcription and production of IL-8 by the human prostate cancer cell line DU145. Conversely, enforced expression of EGR-1 in EGR-1-lacking PC3 prostate cancer cells markedly enhanced IL-8 transcription and secretion. By using wild type and a series of mutant IL-8 promoter luciferase constructs, we found that the NF-kappaB binding site is important for EGR-1 regulation of IL-8. Furthermore, silencing EGR-1 suppressed a synergistically functional interaction between EGR-1 and NF-kappaB. Consequently, knockdown of EGR-1 inhibited IL-8-mediated tumor colony formation and invasion. Thus, targeted knockdown of EGR-1 could be an effective therapeutic approach against prostate cancer.
