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

Medulloblastoma is one of the common malignant brain tumors in children or young adults and its overall disease-free 5-year survival rate is approximately 50% due to tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. This study aimed to determine whether one of Rho GTPases, Rac1 can affect the morphology, motility, and invasion of medulloblastoma cells through knockdown of Rac1 expression. Medulloblastoma Daoy cells were used to manipulate Rac1 expression using Rac1 shRNA, Rac1N17, and Rac1L61 constructs. Reverse transcriptase-PCR and western blot were used to detect expression of Rac1 mRNA and protein, respectively. Invasion and migration assays were performed to assess invasion and migration capacity of Daoy cells, respectively. The data showed that Rac1 mRNA and protein were overexpressed in Daoy cells. Deletion of Rac1 decreased the cross-linked actin network and pseudopodia and also inhibited the number of migration cells migrated or invaded to the other side of the filter compared to control cells. These data indicated that the invasion and migration in Daoy cells were inhibited by deletion of Rac1, and suggest that targeting Rac1 by Rac1 shRNA may further be evaluated and used as a potential anticancer strategy to treat medulloblastoma.
