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

Serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) is associated with hypertension, autism, Parkinson's disease and various types of cancer in recent years. This study investigated STK39 expression and possible roles in osteosarcoma using qPCR and western blot analysis. Compared to normal bone tissues, the mRNA and protein expression of STK39 was found to be upregulated in osteosarcoma. Using small interfering RNA transfection, STK39 was knocked down into two cell lines of osteosarcoma, U2OS and MG63, and the effects exerted on cell functioning were examined. The results showed that STK39 downregulation inhibited ostesarcoma cell proliferation and invasion. Moreover, STK39 knockdown in osteosarcoma cells significantly affected the expression of proteins connected to cell proliferation (proliferating cell nuclear antigen and p21) and invasion [Twist1, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and MMP9]. Phosphorylation of Smad2/3 was reduced by STK39 knock down. In conclusion, our data provide evidence that STK39 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma. STK39 may serve as an oncogene by adjusting the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma cells.
