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

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) is a multifunctional protein belonging to the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein family. The K‑homology domain is the most evolutionarily conserved feature of hnRNPK and is responsible for RNA‑binding. hnRNPK interacts with both chromatin and RNA in numerous species. Initially characterized as an RNA‑binding protein, hnRNPK functions as a structural protein, integrating a number of signaling pathways and participating in gene expression regulation, RNA processing, cell cycle control and apoptosis. hnRNPK exhibits aberrant expression in numerous tumors, functioning paradoxically as either an oncogene or tumor suppressor depending on cellular context, expression levels and post‑translational modifications. Recent advancements have outlined the involvement of hnRNPK in tumor cell migration, angiogenesis and chemoresistance through interactions with long non‑coding RNAs and the regulation of key signaling pathways. The present review summarizes current knowledge regarding the structure, function and clinical importance of the hnRNPK in cancer, highlighting its potential as both a biomarker and therapeutic target.
