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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have unique properties, including self-renewal, differentiation, and chemoresistance. In this study, we found that p21-activated kinase (PAK1) inhibitor (Group I, PAK inhibitor, IPA-3) and inactivator (ivermectin) treatments inhibit cell proliferation and that tumor growth of PAK1-knockout cells in a mouse model is significantly reduced. IPA-3 and ivermectin inhibit CSC formation. PAK1 physically interacts with Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2), and JAK2 inhibitor (TG101209) treatment inhibits mammosphere formation and reduces the nuclear PAK1 protein level. PAK1 interacts with signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), and PAK1 and Stat3 colocalize in the nucleus. We show through electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and reporter assays that the PAK1/Stat3 complex binds to the
