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

backgroundEpigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a major ingredient of green tea (GT) and silibinin (SB), the active component of Silymarin presumably hold a potential to prevent pathogenomics. Prostate cancer exacerbation is triggered by fusion transcripts formed because of genomic instability induced by juxtapositioning of two genes. This chimeric transcript is implicated in androgen dependent and independent prostate cancer. Tremendous work is done on the characterization of the mediators involved in the disease refractoriness, yet no study has addressed clinical management of these prostate fusion transcripts impressively.

methodsAn abolished ATM dynamics challenges integrity of DNA. In agreement with this assumption, ATM and DNA-PK were impaired in LNCaP cell line to confirm a tight interaction of these mediators with the expression profile of TMPRSS2-ERG. Abolished ATM enhanced the expression of the fusion transcript. Similarly blunting of DNA-PK downregulated the expression of the fusion transcript giving a notion that DNA-PK is involved in the chromosomal translocation. LNCaP cell lines were analyzed for the effect of EGCG and SB on the expression profile of TMPRSS2-ERG.

resultsIn this particular unprecedented study, treatment of the LNCaP cell line with EGCG and Silibilin recapitulated ATM expression and activity and downregulated the fusion transcript appearance.

conclusionsThese results underscore the therapeutic effect of EGCG and SB in mitigating the exacerbation of the disease with reference to the fusion transcripts.
