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

background and purposeIn benign prostatic hyperplasia, increased prostate smooth muscle tone and prostate volume may contribute alone or together to urethral obstruction and voiding symptoms. Consequently, it is assumed there is a connection between smooth muscle tone and growth in the prostate, but any molecular basis for this is poorly understood. Here, we examined effects of Src family kinase (SFK) inhibitors on prostate contraction and growth of stromal cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: SFK inhibitors, AZM475271 and PP2, were applied to human prostate tissues to assess effects on smooth muscle contraction, and to cultured stromal (WPMY-1) and c-Src-deficient cells to examine effects on proliferation, actin organization and viability. KEY

resultsSFKs were detected by real time PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence in human prostate tissues, some being located to smooth muscle cells. AZM475271 (10 μM) and PP2 (10 μM) inhibited SFK in prostate tissues and WPMY-1 cells. Both inhibitors reduced α CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: In human prostate, smooth muscle tone and growth are both controlled by an SFK-dependent process, which may explain their common role in bladder outlet obstruction. Targeting prostate smooth muscle tone and prostate growth simultaneously by a single compound may, in principal, be possible.
