AJUBA promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of NSCLC cells by activating the ERK/β-catenin pathway.

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
Accumulating evidence indicates that AJUBA acts as a potential target for new therapeutics to treat cancers. Nevertheless, the role of AJUBA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. In the current study, immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed that expression of AJUBA was upregulated in 67.55% of NSCLC tumor samples and was associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage, poor differentiation and poor prognosis. Loss-of-function assays of AJUBA produced by silencing RNA (siAJUBA) significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of H1299 and A549 cell lines. Mechanistically, inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) blocked the AJUBA-induced proliferation, invasion and migration of NSCLC cells, and decreased the expression of proteins related to the endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Silencing of AJUBA repressed tumor growth and led to a decrease in p-ERK, β-catenin and N-cadherin in vivo. In conclusion,, overexpression of AJUBA facilitates the proliferation and motility of NSCLC cells via the ERK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. AJUBA may be useful as a prognostic marker which may provide a promising approach for the treatment of NSCLC.
