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

Caldesmon is a cytoskeleton-associated protein which has not yet been related to neoplastic angiogenesis. In this study we investigated the expression of the caldesmon gene (CALD1) splicing variants and the protein expression level in glioma microvessels versus normal brain microvasculature. To exclude sources of splice variant expression from non-vascular components all possible cellular components present in control and glioma samples were pre-screened by laser-capture microdissection followed by RT-PCR before the cohort study. We discovered differential expression of the splicing variants of CALD1 in the tumor microvessels in contrast to normal brain microvasculature. Missplicing of exons 1, 1 + 4, and 1' + 4 of the gene is exclusively found in glioma microvessels. To exclude the possibility that this missplicing results from splice-site mutations, mutation scanning was performed by a coupled in vitro transcription/translation assay (IVTT). No premature stop mutations were traced by the IVTT. The transcriptional changes consequently resulted in up-regulation at the protein expression level. The up-regulated expression of caldesmon was coincident with the down-regulated expression of tight junction proteins (occludin and ZO-1). The results support the notion that missplicing of the CALD1 gene in glioma microvasculature is an independent epigenetic event regulated at the transcriptional level. The event coexists with tight junction (TJ) breakdown of the endothelial cells in glioma microvasculature. The data reveal a novel mechanism contributing to dysfunctionality of glioma neovascularization.
