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

Protein kinase C δ (PKCδ), a subtype of PKC family, has been recognized as a tumor promoter or suppressor depending on different tissue specificities in various tumor types. However, the effects of PKCδ on somatotropinomas are poorly understood. This study aims to explore the precise role of PKCδ in promoting tumor progression in somatotropinomas. In the present study, we examined the expression levels of PKCδ in clinical specimens of human somatotropinomas to show that PKCδ overexpression correlated with invasive properties of somatotropinomas. Furthermore, we employed rat anterior pituitary GH3 cells as the experiment model to demonstrate that PKCδ activation by PKC agonist (Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, PMA) significantly promoted the proliferation and migration potential of GH3 cells, and these effects could be abolished following PKCδ inhibition by specific inhibitor Rottlerin. Mechanistically, PKCδ activated ERK1/2 signaling, which was responsible for PKCδ-induced promotion of GH3 cell proliferation and migration. Taken together, our results indicated that PKCδ functions as a tumor promoter by promoting cell proliferation and migration in somatotropinomas.
