BAP1 functions as a tumor promoter in prostate cancer cells through EMT regulation.

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.
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
BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that has long been considered to be a tumor suppressor in various tumors, including renal cell carcinoma, uveal melanoma, mesothelioma, and cutaneous melanoma. However, the involvement of BAP1 in the progression of prostate cancer has not been studied until recently. Herein, we investigated the tumor promoting function of BAP1 in the context of prostate cancer. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set showed that prostate cancer patients express high levels of BAP1 mRNA. High BAP1 expression is inversely correlated with disease-free survival in patients with prostate cancer. Among the prostate cell lines tested, BAP1 expression was high in tumorigenic and metastatic cell lines, but was low in normal prostate cell line. Knockdown of BAP1 in PC3 or DU145 cells induced mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET). Further, BAP1-knockdown resulted in decreased migration and invasion of PC3 and DU145 cells. Conversely, overexpression of BAP1 in RWPE1, a normal prostate cell line, induced the migratory and invasive properties. Collectively, our findings identified that BAP1 has a tumor promoting function in prostate cancer cells, and suggest that BAP1 can serve as a potential therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
