Possible prognostic impact of PKCι genetic variants in prostate cancer.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been linked with prostate cancer (PCa) and have shown potential as prognostic markers for advanced stages. Loss of function mutations in PKCι have been linked with increased risk of malignancy by enhancing tumor cell motility and invasion. We have evaluated the impact of two coding region SNPs on the PKCι gene (PRKCI) and their prognostic potential.
methodsGenotypic association of non-synonymous PKCι SNPs rs1197750201 and rs1199520604 with PCa was determined through tetra-ARMS PCR. PKCι was docked with interacting partner Par-6 to determine the effect of these variants on PKCι binding capabilities. Molecular dynamic simulations of PKCι docked with Par-6 were performed to determine variant effects on PKCι protein interactions. The possible impact of changes in PKCι protein interactions on epithelial cell polarity was hypothesized.
resultsPKCι rs1199520604 mutant genotype TT showed association with PCa (p = 0.0055), while rs1197750201 mutant genotype AA also showed significant association with PCa (P = 0.0006). The binding interaction of PKCι with Par-6 was altered for both variants, with changes in Van der Waals energy and electrostatic energy of docked structures.
conclusionGenotypic analysis of two non-synonymous PKCι variants in association with PCa prognosis was performed. Both variants in the PB1 domain showed potential as a prognostic marker for PCa. In silico analysis of the effect of the variants on PKCι protein interactions indicated they may be involved in PCa progression through aberration of epithelial cell polarity pathways.
