In Vitro Analysis of PMEPA1 Upregulation in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induced by Prostate Cancer Cells.

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
Isoforms of prostate transmembrane protein, androgen induced 1 (PMEPA1), are regulated either by TGF-beta or AR activation and provide negative loop-regulation of these signaling pathways. High levels of PMEPA1 protein have been observed in various tumor types, including prostate, bladder, colorectal cancers, and glioblastoma. Direct oncogenic role of PMEPA1 in hepatocellular carcinoma has been recently shown on an animal model. New studies also indicate an upregulation of PMEPA1 in tumor-associated immune and stromal cells; however, its specific role in tumor stromal cells remains largely unexplored. In our previous research, we developed a cancer-stroma sphere (CSS) model that integrates tumor cells with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Evaluations of chemotherapy and CAR-T therapies on CSSs have demonstrated that this model closely mimics in vivo data regarding cytotoxicity and adverse effects of therapy. In the present study, we reveal that
