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

Bone metastasis is a significant contributor to the poor prognosis in prostate cancer. Recent evidence highlights the pivotal role of pseudouridine synthases in solid tumor progression, yet the specific enzyme driving prostate cancer metastasis remains unidentified. This study uncovers a novel regulatory mechanism of the FOXA1/PUS1/EIF3b signaling axis in prostate cancer bone metastasis. We identified elevated PUS1 expression in prostate cancer tissues, correlating with higher clinical grade and worse prognosis. Knockdown of PUS1 inhibited metastasis independently of its enzymatic activity, with EIF3b acting as a downstream effector, protected from ubiquitin-mediated degradation by PUS1. Overexpression of EIF3b countered the metastasis suppression due to PUS1 knockdown. Additionally, FOXA1 was shown to enhance PUS1 expression by binding to its promoter. Mogroside IV-E, a specific PUS1 inhibitor, demonstrated potent anti-metastatic effects by reducing PUS1 expression. Our findings highlight the FOXA1/PUS1/EIF3b axis as a critical mediator of prostate cancer bone metastasis and suggest that targeting this pathway could be a promising therapeutic strategy.
