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) ranks among the most prevalent cancers in males. Recent studies have highlighted intricate connections between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), natural products, and cellular signaling in PC development. LncRNAs, which are RNA transcripts without protein-coding function, influence cell growth, programmed cell death, metastasis, and resistance to treatments through pathways like PI3K/AKT, WNT/β-catenin, and androgen receptor signaling. Certain lncRNAs, including HOTAIR and PCA3, are associated with PC progression, with potential as diagnostic markers. Natural compounds, such as curcumin and resveratrol, demonstrate anticancer effects by targeting these pathways, reducing tumor growth, and modulating lncRNA expression. For instance, curcumin suppresses HOTAIR levels, hindering PC cell proliferation and invasion. The interaction between lncRNAs and natural compounds may open new avenues for therapy, as these substances can simultaneously impact multiple signaling pathways. These complex interactions offer promising directions for developing innovative PC treatments, enhancing diagnostics, and identifying new biomarkers for improved prevention and targeted therapy. This review aims to map the multifaceted relationship among natural products, lncRNAs, and signaling pathways in PC pathogenesis, focusing on key pathways such as AR, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, WNT/β-catenin, and MAPK, which are crucial in PC progression and therapy resistance. Regulation of these pathways by natural products and lncRNAs could lead to new insights into biomarker identification, preventive measures, and targeted PC therapies.
