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

The dependency of prostate cancer (PCa) growth on androgen receptor (AR) signaling has been harnessed to develop first-line therapies for high-risk localized and metastatic PCa treatment. However, the occurrence of aberrant expression, mutated or splice variants of AR confers resistance to androgen ablation therapy (ADT), radiotherapy or chemotherapy in AR-positive PCa. Therapeutic strategies that effectively inhibit the expression and/or transcriptional activity of full-length AR, mutated AR and AR splice variants have remained elusive. In this study, we report that mithramycin (MTM), an antineoplastic antibiotic, suppresses cell proliferation and exhibits dual inhibitory effects on expression and transcriptional activity of AR and AR splice variants. MTM blocks AR recruitment to its genomic targets by occupying AR enhancers and causes downregulation of AR target genes, which includes key DNA repair factors in DNA damage repair (DDR). We show that MTM significantly impairs DDR and enhances the effectiveness of ionizing radiation or the radiomimetic agent Bleomycin in PCa. Thus, the combination of MTM treatment with RT or radiomimetic agents, such as bleomycin, may present a novel effective therapeutic strategy for patients with high-risk, clinically localized PCa.
