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

backgroundChemotherapy and androgen-deprivation treatment are the curative approaches utilized to suppress prostate cancer (PCa) progression. However, drug resistance and metastasis are extensive and hard to overcome even though remarkable progress has been made in recent decades. The cancer stem cell-related theoretical model explains the distinct molecular characteristics of cancer, its relapse, metastasis, and drug resistance. Meanwhile, noncoding RNA functions in the formation of drug resistance and metastasis in most cancers. The long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 908 (LINC00908) has been reported to restrain cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of some cancers like triple-negative breast cancer, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, PCa, and so on. However, its role in stemness for PCa remains unclear.

methodsWe delved into the impact of LINC00908 in PCa cell stemness and the principal molecular mechanism. Then, the impact of LINC00908 on PCa cell stemness and its corresponding mechanism was explored by using functional assays and bioinformatics evaluation.

resultsWe found that LINC00908 was low-expressed in PCa cells, and it exerted suppressive functions in PCa cell stemness and tumor growth. Additionally, we revealed that LINC00908 down-regulation was mediated by the HDAC2-p300-YY1 transcription complex. Moreover, LINC00908 up-regulated glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) via sponging miR-3179. Meanwhile, LINC00908 deployed DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked (DDX3X) to facilitate the stabilization of F-box and WD repeat domain containing 2 (FBXW2) mRNA. Importantly, LINC00908 enhanced GSK3B and FBXW2 expression to induce the ubiquitination of β-catenin protein, leading to Wnt pathway inactivation.

conclusionThese results reveal that LINC00908 inhibits PCa cell stemness via inactivating the GSK3B/FBXW2-regulated Wnt pathway, which might enrich people's knowledge of PCa stemness and provide some new potential biomarkers for PCa.
