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, act as a tumor suppressor, has been reported in several sporadic cancers. However, how the loss of LKB1 promotes melanoma invasion and metastasis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we inactivated LKB1expression by RNA interference in BRAF mutation and wild type melanoma cells respectively. We found LKB1 inactivation cooperate with BRAF V600E lead to melanoma cells more aggressive by a series of experiments including wound scratch test, Transwell assay. While single alteration, either LKB1 loss or BRAF V600E, fails to enhance melanoma cells invasion ability. Mechanistically, LKB1 loss synergism with BRAF V600E resulted in the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and significant up-regulation expression of MMP-2. In addition, LKB1 expression in human melanoma tissues was negatively associated with MMP-2 expression in the presence of BRAF V600E. Thus, our findings indicate a probable explanation on LKB1 function as a tumor suppressor in melanoma and a new therapeutic strategy for melanoma by targeting on BRAF and LKB1 together.
