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

Early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) is extremely important, as metastatic PCa remains hard to treat. EWI-2, a member of the Ig protein subfamily, is known to inhibit PCa cell migration. In this study, we found that EWI-2 localized on both the cell membrane and exosomes regulates the distribution of miR-3934-5p between cells and exosomes. Interestingly, we observed that EWI-2 is localized not only on the plasma membrane but also on the nuclear envelope (nuclear membrane), where it regulates the nuclear translocation of signaling molecules and miRNA. Collectively, these functions of EWI-2 found in lipid bilayers appear to regulate PCa cell metastasis through the epidermal growth factor receptor-mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (EGFR-MAPK-ERK) pathway. Our research provides new insights into the molecular function of EWI-2 on PCa metastasis, and highlights EWI-2 as a potential PCa biomarker.
