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

Neuroendocrine (NE) cells can be identified in benign and malignant prostatic epithelia. Factors regulating their presence and their functions are poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of suitable experimental models. Fifteen in vitro and in vivo prostatic cancer tumor models, including a number of newly established in vivo models, were studied immunohistochemically for the presence of NE cells under different hormonal conditions. None of the in vitro models (PC-3, DU 145, LNCaP, and TSU) contained NE cells. Five of the seven xenograft models established at this laboratory contained NE cells. In three of these, NE cells were found only in the initial mouse passages. In the other two (PC-295 and PC-310), the NE phenotype was stable. NE features were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and by Western analysis of chromogranin A expression. Immunohistochemical double-labeling experiments confirmed that NE cells in prostate cancer are post-mitotic (no Ki-67 expression) and do not express the androgen receptor. In the PC-295 and PC-310 models, short-term androgen withdrawal resulted in a rapidly increased number of NE cells. A time course experiment with PC-295-bearing mice strongly suggests that this increase occurred by induction of NE differentiation rather than by rapid proliferation and subsequent differentiation or selective persistence. In conclusion, these models are suitable to resolve fundamental questions with regard to the presence and functions of NE cells in human prostate cancer.
