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

Forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) has been identified to have a crucial function in development and oncogenesis. However, its role in glioblastoma has remained largely elusive and was therefore assessed in the present study. In human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tissue samples, FOXK1 was determined to be highly expressed compared with adjacent normal tissue samples. In addition, high levels of FOXK1 were detected in the T98G and LN18 GBM cell lines as compare with those in normal human astrocytes. Of note, high expression of FOXK1 was revealed to be associated with metastasis and tumor size. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were then performed to determine whether FOXK1 regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell proliferation. Knockdown of FOXK1 significantly suppressed EMT and metastasis of GBM cells, while ectopic expression of FOXK1 promoted them. A luciferase reporter assay and a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed that FOXK1 activated the transcription of Snail. In addition, as the results indicated that FOXK1 promotes GBM cell proliferation, the potential effect of FOXK1 on the cell cycle and apoptosis were further assessed. While FOXK1 had no effect on apoptosis, it promoted cell proliferation via enhancing the S-phase population. In brief, the present study indicated that FOXK1 acts as an oncogene with a key function in glioblastoma cell proliferation and EMT.
