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

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common type of malignancy to exist in men within developed countries. Androgen deprivation therapy is performed for metastatic and advanced PC. However, the majority of cases of prostate cancer become refractory during therapy, leading to castration-resistant PC (CRPC). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key factors in regulating gene transcription and have been associated with cancer development. In the present study the small molecule inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA), which targets HDACs, was demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of CRPC PC3 cells by disrupting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-STAT3 pathway. The expression of EGFR and STAT3 was downregulated following TSA treatment, and cell cycle arrest was induced by downregulating the expression of cyclin D1 and CDK6, and via retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, the transcription of cyclin D1 and CDK6 was suppressed by TSA. Apoptosis of PC3 cells treated with TSA was also investigated, and it was revealed that TSA induced apoptosis by upregulating BAX and downregulating BCL-2. The combination of TSA with doxorubicin exerted a synergistic inhibitory effect on PC3 cell proliferation through the induction of apoptosis. The results of the present study revealed a promising epigenetic-based therapeutic strategy that could be implemented in cases of CRPC.
