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 purposes of this study are to investigate the antitumor activities of NSK-01105, a novel sorafenib derivative, in in vitro and in vivo models, and explore the potential mechanisms. The effects of NSK-01105 on proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cancer cells were established by cytotoxicity assays, apoptosis analysis, flow cytometry analysis, and Western blot analysis. Two xenograft tumor models were used to verify the therapeutic effect of NSK-01105 in vivo. NSK-01105 exhibited broad-spectrum antitumor activity, particularly in prostate cancer cells. Characterization of apoptosis morphology was observed, and the percentage of apoptosis-positive cells significantly increased after NSK-01105 treatment for 24 h. Furthermore, a significant increase of the "sub-G1" population in LNCaP and PC-3 cells after NSK-01105 treatment was determined by cell cycle analysis. Tumor growth was significantly suppressed by once daily oral 30 mg/kg dose of NSK-01105 with the inhibition rates of 63.82% in LNCaP models and 64.29% in PC-3 models, respectively. The activation of Raf-1 kinase and epidermal growth factor receptor was downregulated by NSK-01105 at 10 μmol/L. Consequently, the dual inhibitions of Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathways were observed by Western blot analysis. Collectively, our results suggest a role of NSK-01105 in treatment for human prostate tumors by inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. NSK-01105 appears to be a promising orally active anticancer drug and deserves further investigation.
