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 glioma (MG) is highly proliferative and invasive, with the malignant characteristics associated with aneuploidy and chromosomal instability (CIN). Here, we found that the level of germinal center-associated nuclear protein (GANP), a mammalian homologue of yeast Sac3, was markedly decreased in MGs with a poor prognosis; and thus we explored the effect of its decrease on cell-cycle progression of MG cell lines. Glioblastomas showed a significantly lower level of ganp mRNA than anaplastic astrocytomas, as measured by real-time reverse transcription-PCR, in 101 cases of adult MG. MGs of ganp(Low) expression displayed more malignant characteristics, with loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 10, epidermal growth factor receptor gene amplification, and significantly poorer prognosis than the ganp(High) group. Human diploid fibroblasts depleted of ganp mRNA by the RNA interference (RNAi) method showed a decreased percentage of S-phase cells and a cellular-senescence phenotype. MG cell lines harboring abnormalities of various cell-cycle checkpoint molecules displayed slippage of mitotic checkpoints and an increased proportion of hyperploid cells after ganp RNAi-treatment. These results suggest that GANP protects cells from cellular senescence caused by DNA damage and that a significant decrease in GANP expression leads to malignancy by generating hyperploidy and CIN.
