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

Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), a serine/threonine kinase, is frequently inactivated in several types of human cancers. To date, inactivation of LKB1 tumor suppressor has rarely been reported in glioblastoma. In this study, we investigated LKB1 status, biological significance, and therapeutic implications in glioblastoma. Loss of LKB1 immunostaining was identified in 8.6% (5/58), while decrease of LKB1 immunostaining was found in 29.3% (17/58) of glioblastoma tissues. Notably, mining TCGA database of LKB1 expression in glioblastoma revealed that lower mRNA level of LKB1 was associated with shorter survival in glioblastoma. We found that knockdown of LKB1 significantly promoted
