Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN) and prostate cancer: lessons learned from the ARCaP model.
Review in American journal of clinical and experimental urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Confucius said, "Good tools are prerequisite to the successful execution of a job". Among his many groundbreaking achievements, Dr. Leland W. K. Chung established several widely used prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines, including C4-2, C4-2B, and ARCaP. These cellular models have been pivotal tools to enhance our understanding of the biology of PCa progression and assist in the discovery of new strategies to treat metastatic, castration-resistant PCa. Recent studies in the ARCaP PCa progression model uncovered epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN), an actin-binding protein with an indispensable role in the maintenance of epithelial structures, as a negative regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Clinical evidence further supports the potential role of EPLIN in controlling metastasis in PCa and other solid tumors. In this article, we review the current understanding of the biology of EPLIN and the ARCaP model in the discovery of new agents for the prevention and treatment of PCa metastasis.
