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

backgroundNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenases (COXs), and their usage reduces the risks associated with prostate cancer. Celecoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor and reported to prevent the progression of prostate cancer. However, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the suppression of prostate cancer growth by celecoxib and elucidated the biological relevance of the inhibited pathway in prostate cancer cell lines.

methodsWestern blotting, quantitative real-time PCR and cell proliferation assay were used to resolve the mechanism of celecoxib in prostate cancer cell line PC3, LNCaP and their derivatives.

resultsCelecoxib induced apoptosis and downregulated EP2, CREB and androgen receptor (AR). Moreover, EP2 antagonist downregulated CREB as well as COX-2 and AR, resulting in the suppression of cell proliferation. Furthermore, EP2 and CREB knockdown induced AR downregulation, indicating that AR suppression by celecoxib is mediated by EP2/CREB signaling.

conclusionsCelecoxib exerts antitumor activity through EP2 signaling regulating AR and COX-2 expression. Furthermore, in addition to celecoxib, therapeutics targeting EP2 may also be promising against prostate cancers.
