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

The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 is a tumour suppressor that regulates cell growth, polarity, and proliferation in many different cell types. We previously demonstrated that LKB1 controls thymocyte survival via regulation of AMPK activation. In this study, we show that LKB1 was also involved in thymocyte positive selection through regulation of T cell receptor (TCR) signalling. Both Lck-Cre- and CD4-Cre-mediated deletion of LKB1 impaired the generation of mature CD4 and CD8 single positive (SP) thymocytes that might have resulted from the attenuated tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-γ 1 (PLCγ1) in the absence of LKB1. We found that LKB1 was directly phosphorylated by Lck at tyrosine residues 36, 261, and 365 and predominately interacted with LAT and PLCγ1 following TCR stimulation. Loss of LKB1 led to impaired recruitment of PLCγ1 to the LAT signalosome. Correlatively, LKB1-deficient thymocytes failed to upregulate lineage-specifying factors, and to differentiate into SP thymocytes even if their impaired survival was rescued. These observations indicated that LKB1 is a critical component involved in TCR signalling, and our studies provide novel insights into the mechanisms of LKB1-mediated thymocyte development.
