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

backgroundA high prevalence of osteoblastic bone metastases is characteristic of prostate cancer. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine protease uniquely produced by prostate cancer cells and is an important serological marker for prostate cancer. However, whether PSA modulates the osteogenic process remains largely unknown. In this study, we explored the effect of PSA on modulating the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we used flow cytometry, CCK-8 assay, Alizarin red S (ARS) staining and quantification, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and staining, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to explore the effect of PSA on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.

resultsWe first demonstrated that although PSA did not affect the proliferation, morphology, or phenotype of MSCs, it significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PSA promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by elevating the expression of Cadherin 11 in MSCs and, thus, activating the Akt signaling pathway.

conclusionsIn conclusion, we demonstrated that PSA could promote the osteogenesis of MSCs through Akt signaling pathway activation by elevating the expression of cadherin-11 in MSCs. These findings imply a possible role of PSA in osteoblastic bone metastases in prostate cancer.
