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

Dysregulations in protein kinases significantly contribute to the initiation, progression, and drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of novel oncogenic drivers within the human kinome is crucial for targeted therapy. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the TCGA database and literature, pinpointing 16 candidate genes in lung cancer exhibiting frequent dysregulation and limited research. Our functional analysis revealed Serine/threonine kinase 31 (STK31) as a key player in driving tumor growth, in immune-competent mice, with minimal impact in nude mice. Further investigations unveiled upregulation of STK31 led to CD8
