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

Dysregulation of the cell cycle contributes to tumor progression. Cell division cycle‑associated 3 (CDCA3) is a known trigger of mitotic entry and has been demonstrated to be constitutively upregulated in tumors. It is therefore associated with carcinogenic properties reported in various cancers. However, the role of CDCA3 in prostate cancer is unclear. In the present study, western blotting and analysis of gene expression profiling datasets determined that CDCA3 expression was upregulated in prostate cancer and was associated with a poor prognosis. CDCA3 knockdown in DU145 and PC‑3 cells led to decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, with increased protein expression levels of cleaved‑caspase3. Further experiments demonstrated that downregulated CDCA3 expression levels induced G0/G1 phase arrest, which was attributed to increased p21 protein expression levels and decreased cyclin D1 expression levels via the regulation of NF‑κB signaling proteins (NFκB‑p105/p50, IKKα/β, and pho‑NFκB‑p65). In conclusion, these results indicated that CDCA3 may serve a crucial role in prostate cancer and consequently, CDCA3 knockdown may be used as a potential therapeutic target.
