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

backgroundOur previous study revealed that proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is implicated in both anchorage-independent growth and anoikis resistance in lung cancer cells. This study aims to explore the expression and clinical significance of Pyk2 and its phosphorylated forms in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsThe mRNA and protein levels of Pyk2 or cancer stem cell markers (ALDH1a1, ABCG2 and Bmi-1) were either examined by reverse transcription-PCR or western blotting. An immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay was conducted to analyse the expression of Pyk2 and its phosphorylated forms in 128 NSCLC cases.

resultsThe levels of Pyk2 mRNA, total protein, and its phosphorylated form pY881 were higher in lung cancer lesions than in the paired noncancerous tissues. The IHC analysis showed the levels of the Pyk2 and Pyk2[pY881] proteins were highly expressed in 70 (54.7%) and 77 (60.2%) cases, respectively. Both Pyk2 and Pyk2[pY881] were independent prognostic factors for NSCLC patients. The gain and loss study of Pyk2 function revealed that Pyk2 could upregulate the expression of ALDH1a1, ABCG2 and Bmi-1 and enhance the ability of colony formation in soft agar assay in A549 and H460 cells.

conclusionBoth Pyk2 and phosphorylated Pyk2[pY881] are potential prognostic factors and therapeutic targets for NSCLC.
