Association of LKB1 with a WD-repeat protein WDR6 is implicated in cell growth arrest and p27(Kip1) induction.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Germline mutations of the serine/threonine kinase LKB1 (also known as STK11) lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) that is associated with increased incidence of malignant cancers. However, the tumor suppressor function of LKB1 has not been fully elucidated. We applied yeast two-hybrid screening and identified that a novel WD-repeat protein WDR6 was able to interact with LKB1. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that WDR6 was localized in cytoplasm, similar to the localization of LKB1. Expression of LKB1 was able to inhibit colony formation of Hela cells. Interestingly, coexpression of WDR6 with LKB1 enhanced the inhibitory effect of LKB1 on Hela cell proliferation. Consistently, WDR6 was able to synergize with LKB1 in cell cycle G1 arrest in Hela cells. Coexpression of WDR6 and LKB1 was able to induce a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p27(Kip1). Furthermore, the stimulatory effect of LKB1 on p27(Kip1) promoter activity was significantly elevated by coexpression with WDR6. Collectively, these results provided initial evidence that WDR6 is implicated in the cell growth inhibitory pathway of LKB1 via regulation of p27(Kip1).
