Simultaneous Autophagy and Androgen Receptor Inhibition in a Prostate Cancer Xenograft Model.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
objectiveAbi, when used in conjunction with prednisone, is an established treatment for advanced PCa. Our goal was to explore the level of autophagy induced by Abi treatment, both alone and in combination with the autophagy inhibitor Chl, in a castrated mouse xenograft model.
methodsLNCaP cells were injected into the left and right sides of the back of nude mice that had been previously castrated. Mice were divided into four groups and treated daily with intraperitoneal injections of vehicle (control), Abi (10 mg/kg), Abi (10 mg/kg) combined with Chl (10 mg/kg), or Chl (10 mg/kg), and were monitored for periods of 2 and 3 weeks.
resultsA significant reduction in tumor weight was observed in mice treated with the combination therapy, as opposed to those receiving vehicle control, Abi, or Chl alone. Mice receiving Abi + Chl exhibited reduced expression of ATG5, Beclin 1, and LC3 punctuations, along with an increase in P62, as determined by immunofluorescence and WES analysis. AR expression decreased significantly in all treatment groups compared to the control. PSMA expression was highest in the vehicle and combined treatment groups after 3 weeks, with a significant reduction observed with Chl treatment.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that Abi + Chl treatment lowers autophagy levels and suppresses tumors more effectively than Abi alone.
