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 (PCa) metastasizes to bone, where the bone marrow microenvironment controls disease progression. However, the cellular interactions that result in active bone marrow metastases are poorly understood. A better understanding of these interactions is critical to success in the pursuit of effective treatments for this life ending disease. Anecdotally, we observe that after intracardiac injection of PCa cells, one of the greatest tools to investigate the mechanisms of bone-metastatic disease, animals frequently present with mandible metastasis before hind limb metastasis. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether the bone cells derived from the mouse mandible influence PCa progression differently than those from the hind limb. Interestingly, we found that osteoblasts harvested from mouse mandibles grew faster, expressed more vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), increased vascularity and formed more bone, and stimulated faster growth of PCa cells when cultured together than osteoblasts harvested from mouse hind limbs. Additionally, these findings were confirmed
