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

Papillary thyroid cancer is a common endocrine malignancy. Although p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) is involved in the development of different types of tumor, its function has not been investigated in papillary thyroid cancer. Here, we identified a role for PAK4 in papillary thyroid cancer progression. Levels of PAK4 and PAK4 phosphorylated at serine 474 correlated significantly with tumor size and TNM stage. Furthermore, stable knockdown of PAK4 retarded cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, thyroid stimulating hormone-induced cellular proliferation in papillary thyroid cancer was found to be dependent on TSHR/cAMP/PKA/PAK4 signaling, with levels of phosphorylated PAK4 correlating positively with serum thyroid stimulating hormone and PKA Cα levels in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. These findings revealed a novel function of PAK4 in thyroid stimulating hormone-induced papillary thyroid cancer progression and suggest that PAK4 may become a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target for this disease.
