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

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer with poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore the role of KDM2B in the development of LUSC. The results of this study demonstrated that KDM2B was upregulated in LUSC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of KDM2B reduced cell viability and colony forming ability in SK-MES-1 and NCI-H520 cells. KDM2B inhibition reduced glucose consumption, lactate production, ATP level, and also downregulated the expression of LDHA and GLUT1. KDM2B knockdown decreased the protein expression of LC3-I and p62, and increased LC3-II and Beclin-1. Furthermore, KDM2B silencing inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT, mTOR and P70S6K. KDM2B knockdown led to reduced tumor size in mouse model. In conclusion, KDM2B is upregulated in LUSC tissues and cell lines. KDM2B silencing inhibits glycolysis and promotes autophagy through inactivation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
