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

ELL2 is a potential tumor suppressor in prostate cancer. ELL2 knockout in mice induced mPIN, the putative precursor of prostate cancer and ELL2 knockdown enhanced proliferation in cultured prostate cancer cells. To explore the mechanism of ELL2 action in prostate cancer, we investigated the role of Birc3, an apoptosis inhibitor, in prostate cancer cells and the regulation of its expression by ELL2. ELL2 knockdown enhanced Birc3 expression in LNCaP and C4-2 cell line models. BrdU assay showed that Birc3 knockdown inhibited proliferation, ELL2 knockdown enhanced proliferation, and Birc3 knockdown counteracted ELL2 knockdown-induced proliferation in LNCaP cells. Trypan blue assay suggested that Birc3 knockout did not induce cell death in LNCaP cells. These findings suggested that Birc3 is a downstream gene of ELL2 and may play a role in driving prostate cancer proliferation.
