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

Glioma includes astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma and glioblastoma. We previously reported the epigenetic silencing of paternally expressed gene 3 (PEG3) in glioma cell lines. In this study, we investigated methylation of an exonic CpG island in the promoter region and the expression of PEG3 gene in 20 glioma and 5 non-tumor tissue samples. We found wide variations in the methylation level. Hypomethylaiton and hypermethylation was found in 3 and 4 glioma tissue samples, respectively. Monoallelic expression, which is an evidence of an imprinted gene, was maintained in eight out of nine informative cases which have T/C polymorphisms in PEG3. The lower gene expression, which suggested epigenetic silencing of PEG3, was confirmed statistically in glioblastoma using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Interestingly, we found higher expression of PEG3 in two out of three oligodendrogliomas. A negative correlation between the methylation level and gene expression was shown by regression analysis. These results suggest that the abnormal regulation of PEG3 is associated with several glioma subtypes and that it plays an important role in tumorigenesis.
