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

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) marks the advanced and lethal stage of prostate cancer (PCa). TRIM28, also known as KAP1, is a transcriptional regulator recently shown to promote CRPC cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth. Nonetheless, knowledge gaps persist regarding the mechanisms underlying TRIM28 upregulation in CRPC as well as the genomic targets regulated by TRIM28. Here, we report that TRIM28 is a E2F1 target in CRPC. Using an integrated genomic approach, we have demonstrated that TRIM28 forms a positive feedback loop to promote the transcriptional activation and genomic function of E2F1 independent of retinoblastoma (Rb) status. Furthermore, we identified RSK1 as a kinase that directly phosphorylates TRIM28 at S473, and, as such, RSK1 drives the TRIM28/E2F1 feedback loop. Accordingly, pS473-TRIM28 promotes CRPC progression, which is mitigated by RSK inhibition. In summary, our study reveals a critical role of the RSK1-TRIM28-E2F1 axis in CRPC progression, which may be exploited as a vulnerability in treating Rb-deficient CRPC.
