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

Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1), an oncogenic kinase, has been previously found to be elevated in various types of human cancer and play a role in tumor development and progression. Nevertheless, the biological and clinical significance of SphK1 in thyroid cancer is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of SphK1 is generally up-regulated in thyroid cancer and that its expression level is correlated with the degree of thyroid malignancy. Silencing SphK1 by specific RNA interference is able to suppress the proliferation of thyroid cancer cells, and SphK1 expression level is strongly associated with the expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigen in thyroid cancer tissues. Of particular note is that depletion of SphK1 results in dephosphorylation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase-3β and subsequent inactivation of β-catenin-T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancing factor transcriptional activity. Hence, taken together, our study has identified SphK1 as a proproliferative oncogenic kinase, an Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3β/β-catenin activator, and probably a biomarker for thyroid cancer as well.
