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

Introduction: The mechanism related to docetaxel resistance in PCa has not been fully elucidated, and in-depth study of the specific mechanism of docetaxel resistance in PCa is of great clinical significance for the treatment of PCa. Methods: We explored the expression level of PIGL and HUWE1 using TCGA database and our clinical sample. CCK8 assay, Transwell assay, colony formation assay, wound-healing assay were used to explore the role of HUWE1/PIGL. Ubiquitination assay and Co-immunoprecipitation assay were used to investigate the molecular mechanism. Results: We found that both the mRNA and protein of PIGL is highly expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) and associated with poor prognosis. The protein rather than mRNA of PIGL is highly expressed in docetaxel-resistant PCa and associated with prognosis in patients receiving docetaxel-based chemotherapy. High expression level of PIGL promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, and docetaxel resistance of PCa cells Discussion: These findings emphasized the vital role of PIGL in the progression and docetaxel resistance of PCa and the effect of the E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 on regulating the protein expression of PIGL.
