NEK2 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Glycolysis by Regulating PKM2 Abundance
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent and commonly diagnosed subtype of NHL, which is characterized by high heterogeneity and malignancy, and most DLBCL patients are at advanced stages. The serine/threonine kinase NEK2 (NIMA-related kinase 2), a member of NIMA-related kinase (NEK) family that regulates cell cycle, is upregulated in a variety of malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of NEK2 in DLBCL have seldom been discussed. In this study, we identified that NEK2 is upregulated in DLBCL compared to normal lymphoid tissues, and overexpression of NEK2 predicted a worse prognosis of DLBCL patients. Gene set enrichment analysis indicates that NEK2 might participate in regulating glycolysis. Knockdown of NEK2 inhibited growth and glycolysis of DLBCL cells. The interaction between NEK2 and PKM2 was discovered by tandem affinity purification and then was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining, coimmunoprecipitation, and immunoprecipitation. NEK2 bounds to PKM2 and regulates PKM2 abundance
