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

Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) is a multifunctional protein that promotes tumor progression in various cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa). However, the mechanism by which NPM1 exerts its malignant potential in PCa remains elusive. Here, we showed that NPM1 is overexpressed in PCa cell lines and tissues and that the dysregulation of NPM1 promotes PCa proliferation. We also demonstrated that NPM1 transcriptionally upregulates c-Myc expression in PCa cells that is diminished by blockade of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). Furthermore, we detected a correlation between NPM1 and c-Myc in patient PCa specimens. Mechanistically, NPM1 influences and cooperates with BRD4 to facilitate c-Myc transcription to promote PCa progression. In addition, JQ1, a bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) inhibitor, in combination with NPM1 inhibition suppresses PCa progression in vitro and in vivo. These results indicate that NPM1 promotes PCa progression through a c-Myc -mediated pathway via BRD4, and blockade of the NPM1-c-Myc oncogenic pathway may be a therapeutic strategy for PCa.
