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

NEK2 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is involved in regulating the progression of various tumors. Our previous studies have found that NEK2 is highly expressed in gastric cancer and suggests that patients have a worse prognosis. However, its role and mechanism in gastric cancer are only poorly studied. In this study, we established a model of ferroptosis induced by RSL3 or Erastin in AGS cells in vitro, and konckdown NEK2, HOMX1, Nrf2 by siRNA. The assay kit was used to analyzed cell viability, MDA levels, GSH and GSSG content, and FeRhoNox™-1 fluorescent probe, BODIPY™ 581/591 C11 lipid oxidation probe, CM-H2DCFDA fluorescent probe were used to detected intracellular Fe
