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

TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), a regulator of NF-κB signaling, has been reported to be associated with the oncogenesis of various tumors including pancreatic cancer, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we found that knocking down the expression of TRAF6 impaired YAP signaling. Moreover, TRAF6 promoted the migration and colony formation of pancreatic cancer cells through YAP. Then, we found that TRAF6 interacted with and promoted the ubiquitination and degradation of MST1, and the expression of TRAF6 and MST1 was negatively correlated in primary human pancreatic cancer samples. Our results reveal that TRAF6 regulates YAP signaling by promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of MST1 in pancreatic cancer, suggesting that TRAF6 could be a possible E3 ligase of MST1 and a potential therapeutic target.
