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

Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug for prostate cancer (PC). However, some PCs are resistant to cisplatin treatment, while the molecular mechanisms underlying the resistance of PCs to cisplatin are not completely understood. In this study, we found that cisplatin dose-dependently activated Beclin-1 in two PC cell lines, PC3 and LNCap. Autophagy suppression significantly increased the cisplatin-induced cell death of these PC cells in a CCK-8 assay. Moreover, microRNA (miR)-144 levels were significantly downregulated in cisplatin-treated PC cells, in a VEGF-dependent manner. Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-144 targeted the 3'-UTR of Beclin-1 mRNA to inhibit its translation, which was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. In PC patients after cisplatin treatment, low miR-144 levels appeared to predict poor outcome of patients' survival. Together, these data suggest that cisplatin may induce VEGF to suppress miR-144 levels in PC cells, which subsequently upregulates Beclin-1 to increase autophagic cell survival against cisplatin-induced cell death. Upregulation of miR-144 or suppression of cell autophagy may improve the outcome of cisplatin therapy in PC.
