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

Taxol is the first-line chemotherapeutic agent for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, the mechanism of the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to Taxol treatment remains to be elucidated. In the present study, it was found that paclitaxel induced more apoptosis and maspin expression in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-positive 22Rv1 cells than PTEN-negative LNCaP cells. Knockdown of PTEN in 22Rv1 cells resulted in increased resistance to paclitaxel and impaired the induction of maspin expression by paclitaxel. Overexpression of PTEN sensitized LNCaP cells to paclitaxel treatment and increased maspin induction by paclitaxel. Furthermore, knocking down maspin abrogated PTEN-induced paclitaxel sensitivity in LNCaP cells. PTEN/maspin signaling may be important for regulating the susceptibility to paclitaxel in prostate cancer.
