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

PRAS40 has been shown to have a crucial role in the repression of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Nonetheless, PRAS40 appears to have an oncogenic function in cancer cells. Whether PRAS40 mediates signaling independent of mTOR inhibition in cancer cells remains elusive. Here PRAS40 overexpression in lung adenocarcinoma and cutaneous melanoma was significantly correlated to worse prognosis. And we identified an unexpected role for PRAS40 in the regulation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling. P65, a subunit of the NF-κB transcription factor complex, was confirmed to associate with PRAS40 by glutathione S-transferase co-precipitation. Importantly, we found that PRAS40 can enhance NF-κB transcriptional activity in a manner dependent upon PRAS40-P65 association. Furthermore, we found that a small p65-derived peptide can disrupt the PRAS40-P65 association and significantly decrease NF-κB transcriptional activity. These findings may help elucidate the pleiotropic functions of PRAS40 in cells and suggest a novel therapeutic strategy in cancer patients with high expression of PRAS40 and NF-κB.
