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

Objective: Recent studies have shown that serine/threonine-protein kinase 24 (STK24) plays an important role in cancer development. However, the significance of STK24 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains to be determined. This study is aimed at investigating the significance of STK24 in LUAD. Methods: STK24 was silenced and overexpressed by siRNAs and lentivirus, respectively. Cellular function was assessed by CCK8, colony formation, transwell, apoptosis, and cell cycle. mRNA and protein abundance was checked by qRT-PCR and WB assay, respectively. Luciferase reporter activity was evaluated to examine the regulation of KLF5 on STK24. Various public databases and tools were applied to investigate the immune function and clinical significance of STK24 in LUAD. Results: We found that STK24 was overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues. High expression of STK24 predicted poor survival of LUAD patients. In vitro, STK24 enhanced the proliferation and colony growth ability of A549 and H1299 cells. STK24 knockdown induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) activated STK24 in lung cancer cells and tissues. Enhanced lung cancer cell growth and migration triggered by KLF5 could be reversed by silencing of STK24. Finally, the bioinformatics results showed that STK24 may be involved in the regulation of the immunoregulatory process of LUAD. Conclusion: KLF5 upregulation of STK24 contributes to cell proliferation and migration in LUAD. Moreover, STK24 may participate in the immunomodulatory process of LUAD. Targeting KLF5/STK24 axis may be a potential therapeutic strategy for LUAD.
