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

backgroundResistance to mitoxantrone (MTX), an anthracenedione antineoplastic agent used in advanced and metastatic androgen-refractory prostate cancer (PCa), seriously limits therapeutic success.

methodsXenografts from two human PCa cell lines (VCaP and CWR22) were established in male severe combined immunodeficiency mice, and MTX was administered, with or without concurrent castration, three times a week until tumors relapsed. Microarray technology was used to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in androgen-independent, MTX-resistant PCa xenografts. Gene expression profiles of MTX-treatment xenografts and their respective parental cell lines were performed using an Agilent whole human genome oligonucleotide microarray and analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software.

resultsA total of 636 genes were differentially expressed (fold change ≥1.5;

conclusionThe present data provide insight into the genetic alterations underlying MTX resistance in androgen-independent PCa and highlight potential targets to improve therapeutic outcomes.
