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

We have demonstrated previously that increased RhoA and nuclear factor (NF)-κB activities are associated with increased PC-3 prostate cancer cell invasion and that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) significantly increases cancer invasion through RhoA and NF-κB activation. In this study, we identified the intermediate signaling molecules and specialized cell structures which are activated by LPA, resulting in enhanced cellular invasion. LPA-induced Akt and IκBα signaling pathways were necessary for RhoA and NF-κB activation, and these LPA effects were abolished by RhoA inhibition. Mice injected with PC-3 cells expressing dominant-negative RhoA N19 developed significantly less tumor growth compared with those injected with control (pcDNA 3.1). In addition, LPA treatment increased functional invadopodia formation. Activation of RhoA and NF-κB through the Akt and IκBα signaling pathway was required for LPA-stimulated gelatin degradation activity. LPA administration increased tumor growth and osteolytic lesions in a mouse xenograft model. These results indicate that LPA promotes PC-3 cell invasion by increasing functional invadopodia formation via upregulating RhoA and NF-κB signaling which contributes to prostate cancer progression. Therefore, the LPA and RhoA-NF-κB signaling axis may represent key molecular targets to inhibit prostate cancer invasion and progression.
