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

Backgroud:Constitutive activation of TGF-β signalling is a well-recognised mechanism in bone metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). Protein Interacting with PRKCA 1 (PICK1) is a critical negative regulator of the TGF-β pathway. However, the clinical significance and biological role of PICK1 in PCa bone metastasis remain obscure.

methodsPICK1 expression is evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 198 PCa patients. Statistical analysis is performed to explore correlation between PICK1 expression and clinicopathological features in PCa patients. The biological role of PICK1 is examined in PC-3 and C4-2B cells in vitro and a mouse intracardial model in vivo.

resultsPICK1 expression is decreased in PCa tissues with bone metastasis and bone-derived cells and downregulation of PICK1 positively correlates with serum PSA level, Gleason grade and bone metastasis status in PCa patients. Overexpression of PICK1 suppresses PCa cell invasion and migration in vitro and bone metastasis in vivo. Our results further indicate downregulation of PICK1 is caused by miR-210-3p overexpression in PCa tissues with bone metastasis. Clinical negative correlation of PICK1 with miR-210-3p is confirmed in PCa tissues.

conclusionsOur findings uncover a novel functionally and clinically relevant epigenetic regulatory mechanism for constitutive activation of TGF-β signalling in bone metastasis of PCa.
