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

During prostate cancer progression, TGF-β acts as both a tumor suppressor and tumor promoter. TGF-β inhibits cell proliferation in normal and early-stage prostate cancer cells, but during later stages of the disease the cancer cells develop resistance to inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. In these cells, TGF-β promotes cancer progression due to its effects on epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell migration and invasion, and immune suppression. The intracellular mechanisms involved in the development of resistance to TGF-β effects on cell proliferation are largely unknown. In this review, we summarized the roles of several intracellular proteins including PTEN, Id1 and JunD, which may play a role in this transition. The role of Ski/SnoN proteins in inhibition of Smad2/3 signaling is highlighted.
