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

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequently occurring cancer in men, characterized by the abnormal proliferation of cells within the prostate gland. This study explores the role of RNA binding motif protein 15B (RBM15B) in PC. RBM15B expression levels in PC patients were predicted using the Starbase database. The expression of RBM15B and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in PC cells was detected. Following RBM15B knockdown, cell proliferation assays were conducted. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) levels in PC cells were quantified, and RNA immunoprecipitation was performed to analyze the binding of m6A and YTH N-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) on PCNA mRNA. The stability of PCNA mRNA was assessed after treatment with actinomycin D. An in vivo nude mouse xenograft model was created to validate the role of RBM15B. The findings revealed the upregulation of RBM15B in PC. RBM15B knockdown resulted in decreased proliferation, colony formation, and EdU-positive cells. Mechanical analysis showed that RBM15B facilitated m6A modification of PCNA mRNA, leading to increasing m6A methylation. YTHDF1 bound to these m6A sites on PCNA mRNA, thus stabilizing it. Furthermore, PCNA overexpression mitigated the effects of RBM15B knockdown on PC cell proliferation. In conclusion, RBM15B promotes PC cell proliferation by enhancing the stability of PCNA mRNA through YTHDF1-mediated m6A modification.
