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

Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme, is considered as a potential target of cancer therapy because of its preferential expression in tumors. In particular, malignant gliomas are one of the best candidates for telomerase-targeted therapy. It is because malignant gliomas are predominantly telomerase-positive, while normal brain tissues do not express telomerase. In theory, there are two telomerase-associated therapeutic approaches for telomerase-positive tumors. One approach is the anti-telomerase cancer therapy to directly inhibit telomerase activity, resulting in apoptotic cell death or growth arrest. Two major components of the telomerase holoenzyme complex, the RNA template (hTER) and catalytic subunit (reverse transcriptase, hTERT) are well considered as therapeutic targets. The other approach is the telomerase-specific cancer therapy by targeting telomerase-expressing tumor cells as a means to directly kill the cells. Strategies using the transfer of therapeutic gene under the hTERT promoter system as well as immunotherapy directed against telomerase-positive cells are generally included. These telomerase-associated therapies are very promising for the treatment of malignant gliomas.
