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

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an oncogenic transcription factor implicated in prostate carcinogenesis. The present study shows that diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a promising cancer-chemopreventive constituent of processed garlic, inhibits phosphorylation of STAT3 in prostate cancer cells in culture and in vivo. Exposure of DU145 and LNCaP human prostate cancer cells to growth-suppressive and pharmacologically relevant concentrations of DATS (20 and 40 μmol/L) resulted in suppression of constitutive (DU145) as well as interleukin-6 (IL-6)-induced (LNCaP) phosphorylation of STAT3 (Tyr(705)), which correlated with inhibition of Janus-activated kinase 2 phosphorylation. Constitutive and/or IL-6-induced nuclear translocation of pSTAT3 and STAT3 dimerization was also markedly inhibited on treatment with DATS in both cell lines. Inhibition of prostate cancer development in transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate mice by gavage of DATS correlated with a visible decrease in the levels of pSTAT3. Interestingly, the IL-6-mediated activation of STAT3 largely failed to confer protection against proapoptotic response to DATS in both cells. Likewise, DATS-mediated inhibition of cell migration was either not affected or minimally reversed by IL-6 treatment or ectopic expression of constitutively active STAT3. In conclusion, the present study indicates that DATS treatment suppresses STAT3 phosphorylation in prostate cancer cells in culture and in vivo, but activation of this oncogenic transcription factor is largely dispensable for cellular responses to DATS. Ability of DATS to overcome STAT3 activation is a therapeutic advantage for this chemopreventive agent.
