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

Chemotherapy is important for adjuvant treatment of prostate cancer. However, some cancer cells exhibited low sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. We are supposed to sensitize these prostate cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin. Previous reports have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate chemosensitivity in various cancers. In the present study, we observed that expression level of miR-204 was decreased in prostate cancer cell lines and patients' tumors. Furthermore, we found that restore of miR-204 dramatically enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) against prostate cancer cell lines C4-2 and LNCaP carrying wild type (WT) p53. Mechanically, miR-204 in prostate cancer cells targets SIRT1 which is a histone deacetylase, and thus decreasing deacetylation of p53. As the results, acetylated p53 induced by DOX upregulates the expression of Noxa and Puma followed by induction of mitochondrial apoptosis. These data demonstrate that restore of miR-204 in prostate cancer cells enhances the mitochondrial apoptosis induced by doxorubicin by targeting the SIRT1/p53 pathway.
