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

Chemoresistance is a major therapeutic challenge to prostate cancer and its underlying molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Previously, it has been suggested that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is down-regulated during the prostate cancer progression from the early androgen-sensitive stage to the metastatic castration-resistant stage. However, no literature reports are available for BMP signaling in more advanced-chemoresistant prostate cancer. In this study, we found the expression levels of the BMP type I receptor members, Activin-like kinase-2 (ALK2) and Activin-like kinase-3 (ALK3), were significantly higher in the chemoresistant prostate cancer cells than those in the chemosensitive prostate cancer cells. In addition, the phospho-Smad1/5/9 proteins, the pivotal intracellular effectors of the BMP signaling, were notably elevated in the chemoresistant prostate cancer cells over the chemosensitive prostate cancer cells, indicating that BMP signaling is highly activated in the chemoresistant prostate cancer cells. We also found that BMP signaling inhibition with either DMH1 or the knockdown of ALK2/ALK3 sensitized chemoresistant prostate cancer cells to the chemotherapy drug docetaxel in a dose-dependent manner. Our further study indicates that DMH1 suppressed the migration and invasion of chemoresistant prostate cancer cells
