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

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Here, we report elevated expression of tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2) in primary human lung tumors and in non-small cell lung cancer cells that express low levels of differentiation-inducing transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα). In approximately 10-20% of cases, elevated TRIB2 expression resulted from gene amplification. TRIB2 knockdown was found to inhibit cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth. In addition, TRIB2 knockdown led to morphological changes similar to C/EBPα overexpression and correlated with increased expression and activity of C/EBPα. TRIB2-mediated regulation of C/EBPα was found to occur through the association of TRIB2 with the E3 ligase TRIM21. Together, these data identify TRIB2 as a potential driver of lung tumorigenesis through a mechanism that involves downregulation of C/EBPα.
