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

purposeCabazitaxel, a semi-synthetic taxane of the third generation, inhibits prostate cancer (PC) cell growth by affecting the microtubule architecture. Since cabazitaxel has also been demonstrated to inhibit androgen receptor (AR) functionality, AR and AR-associated heat shock protein (HSP) expressions in the presence of cabazitaxel were characterized.

methodsAR and HSP expressions were assessed via Western blotting utilizing a PC-cell-line in vitro system incubated with cabazitaxel.

resultsIncubation experiments with 0.3 nM cabazitaxel exhibited significantly reduced levels of AR and the AR-associated factors HSP90α, HSP40, and HSP70/HSP90 organising protein. Furthermore, expression of the anti-apoptotic factor HSP60 was suppressed. In contrast to other anticancer compounds, cabazitaxel did not alter the cytoprotective chemoresistance factor HSP27.

conclusionsDespite the deregulation of microtubule organisation, cabazitaxel has been shown to suppress the expression of HSP. Very notably, and may be as a result of down-regulated HSP, cabazitaxel additionally inhibits the expression of the AR in AR-positive PC cells. Thus, cabazitaxel bears an additional anti-proliferative activity which is at least in part specific for PC cells.
