Aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling involved in the invasiveness of LNCaP cells.
Article in Human cell, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
There is now mounting evidence that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays an important role in physiologic responses such as development, cell cycle regulation, immune function and also malignant transformation in various tissues. The strong nuclear AhR expression is observed in the invasive phenotype, and an elevated nuclear AhR expression is associated with a poor prognosis of human prostate cancer. On the other hand, there are conflicting results that the AhR deficiency results in increased susceptibility to prostate tumors in mouse model. In the present study, we investigated AhR expression and its role in the growth and invasiveness of human prostate cancer cells. The AhR protein expression was detected in prostate cancer cell lines and human prostate cancer tissues. A small interfering RNA targeting AhR, constitutive active AhR expression vector, and AhR agonist and antagonist were used to moderate its expression and signaling. The induction of AhR signaling attenuated invasiveness of prostate cancer cells without affecting the cellular growth rate. These results suggest that AhR signaling in prostate cancer cells facilitates invasion of these cells, and modulation with this signaling can be a potential therapeutic target of invasive tumors.
