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

Though human prostate cancer (PCa) heterogeneity can best be studied using multiple cell types isolated from clinical specimens, the difficulty of establishing cell lines from clinical tumors has hampered this approach. In this proof-of-concept study, we established a human PCa cell line from a prostatectomy surgical specimen without the need for retroviral transduction. In a previous report, we characterized the stromal cells derived from PCa specimens. Here, we characterized the epithelial cells isolated from the same tumors. Compared to the ease of establishing prostate stromal cell lines, prostatic epithelial cell lines are challenging. From three matched pairs of normal and tumor tissues, we established one new PCa cell line, HPE-15. We confirmed the origin of HPE-15 cells by short tandem repeat microsatellite polymorphism analysis. HPE-15 cells are androgen-insensitive and express marginal androgen receptor, prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific membrane antigen proteins. HPE-15 expresses luminal epithelial markers of E-cadherin and cytokeratin 18, basal cell markers of cytokeratin 5 and p63 and neuroendocrine marker of chromogranin A. Interestingly, HPE-15 Cells exhibited no tumorigenicity in different strains of immune-deficient mice but can become tumorigenic through interaction with aggressive cancer cell types. HPE-15 cells can thus serve as an experimental model for the study of PCa progression, metastasis and tumor cell dormancy.
