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

backgroundKLF16, a member of the Kruppel-like factor (KLF) family, functions in the regulation of dopaminergic transmission, metabolism, and endocrinology. However, the role of KLF16 in prostate cancer (PCa) remains unknown.

methodsWe screened the expression of KLFs in PCa based on bioinformatics analysis. The protein levels of KLF16 in PCa specimens were confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Inhibiting KLF16 by RNA interference with shRNA was used to determine the effects of KLF16 on PCa cell growth in vitro and in vivo. RNA sequencing was used to investigate the signaling regulated by KLF16 in PCa. Bioinformatics analysis was also used to determine the possible correlations of KLF16 and signaling in PCa cohorts.

resultsBioinformatics analysis showed that KLF16 may be required for PCa development. Notably, the expression of KLF16 was elevated in human PCa tissues. In vitro and in vivo experiments both demonstrated that depleting KLF16 significantly inhibited the growth of PCa cells. Downregulation of KLF16 significantly decreased the expression of MYC signaling in PCa cells. Furthermore, KLF16 expression was correlated with MYC signaling activity.

conclusionKLF16 was overexpressed in PCa tissues compared to normal tissues. KLF16 knockdown suppressed PCa cell growth in vitro and in vivo, and a deficiency of KLF16 inhibited activation of MYC signaling.
