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 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, sulindac, has shown strong effects on cancer prevention in colorectal cancers, however, its anticancer activities on prostate cancer remain unclear. In the current study, human prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and PC-3, were treated with various concentrations of sulindac and it was found that sulindac significantly inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Further studies revealed that sulindac significantly induces c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 phosphorylation and inhibits β-catenin at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In conclusion, by targeting the JNK1/β-catenin signaling pathway, sulindac may present a potential preventive or therapeutic agent for treatment of patients with prostate cancer.
