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

Cancer cells acquire the ability to reprogram their phenotype in response to targeted therapies, yet the transition from dormancy to proliferation in drug-resistant cancers remains poorly understood. In prostate cancer, we utilized high-plasticity mouse models and enzalutamide-resistant (ENZ-R) cellular models to elucidate NR2F1 as a key factor in lineage transition and ENZ resistance. Depletion of NR2F1 drives ENZ-R cells into a relative dormancy state, characterized by reduced proliferation and heightened drug resistance, while NR2F1 overexpression yields contrasting outcomes. Transcriptional sequencing analysis of NR2F1-silenced prostate cancer cells and tissues from the Cancer Genome Atlas-prostate cancer and SU2C cohorts indicated exosomes as the most enriched cell component, with pathways implicated in steroid hormone biosynthesis and drug metabolism. Moreover, NR2F1-AS1 forms a complex with SRSF1 to upregulate NR2F1 expression, facilitating its binding with ESR1 to sustain hormonal receptor expression and enhance proliferation in ENZ-R cells. Furthermore, HnRNPA2B1 interacts with NR2F1 and NR2F1-AS1, assisting their packaging into exosomes, wherein exosomal NR2F1 and NR2F1-AS1 promote the proliferation of dormant ENZ-R cells. Our works offer novel insights into the reawaking of dormant drug-resistant cancer cells governed by NR2F1 upregulation triggered by exosome-derived NR2F1-AS1 and NR2F1, suggesting therapeutic potential for phenotype reversal.
