Expression analysis of TRAF2‑ and NCK‑interacting protein kinase (TNIK) and phosphorylated TNIK in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

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
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of TRAF2- and NCK-interacting kinase (TNIK) and the levels of the active form of TNIK, phosphorylated (p)-TNIK, in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and to identify and compare the levels of TNIK and p-TNIK among PTC, benign thyroid tumors and normal tissues. The levels of TNIK and p-TNIK were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR and immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) in PTC, benign thyroid tumors and normal tissues, and their association with clinicopathological features was evaluated. First, analysis of the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets suggested that the mRNA expression of TNIK was markedly increased in PTC tissues compared with that in normal tissues. RT-qPCR analyses then indicated that the relative mRNA expression of TNIK in PTC tissues was 4.47±6.16, which was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues 2.57±5.83. The IHC results suggested that the levels of TNIK and p-TNIK in PTC tissues were markedly elevated compared with those in benign thyroid tumors and normal tissues. The levels of p-TNIK in patients with PTC were significantly associated with extrathyroidal extension (χ
