RIOK3 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastasis by stabilizing FAK.

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
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely aggressive cancer, characterized by a high metastatic burden. RIO Kinase 3 (RIOK3) has been shown to promote invasion and metastasis of PDAC by cytoskeleton remodeling, but the exact mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we analyzed transcriptome sequencing data from RIOK3 stable knockdown PANC-1 cells and TCGA-PDAC data and discovered that RIOK3 was substantially related to focal adhesion signaling in PDAC. Additionally, silencing RIOK3 dramatically decreased Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) protein expression and phosphorylation (Tyr397 and Tyr925 sites). Immunoprecipitation assay verified the interaction of RIOK3 and FAK. Furthermore, RIOK3 considerably increased the protein stability of FAK protein but not FAK-Y925F protein. The biological function of RIOK3 in increasing PDAC cell invasion and migration was shown to be dependent on FAK activation. Moreover, we discovered that
