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

The aim of this study was to investigate the biological function and molecular mechanism of ARPC1A (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1A) in prostate cancer progression. RT-qPCR and IHC results showed that the level of ARPC1A in prostate cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. The results of TCGA (the cancer genome atlas) database analysis showed that high expression of ARPC1A indicates poor prognosis in prostate cancer patients. In vitro functional experiments confirmed that downregulation of ARPC1A expression resulted in decreased cell viability and invasive ability of prostate cancer cells, as ARPC1A knockdown promoted ferroptosis. The transcriptional regulation mechanism of STAT3 (signal transduction and activators of transcription 3) on ARPC1A was elucidated by Co-IP, ChIP and luciferase reporter assays. In vivo experiments also supported the in vitro results. We propose that reduced ARPC1A expression inhibits prostate cancer cell viability and invasion in a ferroptotic manner. The ARPC1A level may serve as an independent predictor of prognosis in prostate cancer patients.
