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

Malignant gliomas are one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide, but chemoprevention strategies for them are few and poorly investigated. Here, we show that cholera toxin, the traditional biotoxin and well known inducer of accumulation of cellular cAMP, is capable of inducing differentiation on malignant gliomas in vitro with rat C6 and primary cultured human glioma cells. Cholera toxin-induced differentiation was characterized by typical morphological changes, increased expression of glial fibrillary acid protein, decreased expression of Ki-67, inhibition of cellular proliferation, and accumulation of cells in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. Cholera toxin also triggered a significant reduction in the G(1) cell-cycle regulatory proteins cyclin D1 and Cdk2 along with an overexpression of cell-cycle inhibitory proteins p21(Cip1) and p27(Kip1). Abrogation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A activity by protein kinase A inhibitor or silencing of cAMP-responsive element binding proteins by RNA interference resulted in suppressed differentiation. These findings imply the attractiveness of cholera toxin as a drug candidate for further development of differentiation therapy. Furthermore, activation of the protein kinase A/cAMP-responsive element binding protein pathway may be a key and requisite factor in glioma differentiation.
