Review in Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a highly conserved serine-threonine kinase that uses both adenosine triphosphate and guanosine triphosphate as phosphate donors. This constitutively active and ubiquitously expressed enzyme is often present as a tetrameric holoenzyme complex of two catalytic subunits (alpha and/or alpha') and two regulatory beta subunits. The enzyme is known to phosphorylate more than 300 substrates and controls a wide range of processes, including the regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, transformation, and circadian rhythm. Several lines of recent evidence also suggest a potentially important role for CK2 in the control of the inflammatory response. This review will give an overview of CK2 and its regulation and describe the evidence implicating its role in inflammation.
