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

Gliomas are highly invasive, lethal brain tumors. Tumor-associated proteases play an important role in glioma progression. Annexin A2 is overexpressed in many cancers and correlates with increased plasmin activity on the tumor cell surface, which mediates degradation of extracellular matrix and promotes neoangiogenesis to facilitate tumor growth. In this study, we used two glioma cell lines, mouse GL261-EGFP and rat C6/LacZ, as well as stable clones transfected with an annexin A2 knockdown construct. We find that the annexin A2 knockdown decreased glioma cell migration in vitro and decreased membrane-bound plasmin activity. In vivo, we injected the glioma cells into the rodent brain and followed glioma progression. Knockdown of annexin A2 in glioma cells decreased tumor size and slowed tumor progression, as evidenced by decreased invasion, angiogenesis, and proliferation, as well as increased apoptosis in the tumor tissue of the annexin A2 knockdown group. Moreover, we report that the levels of expression of annexin A2 in human glioma samples correlate with their degree of malignancy. Together, our findings demonstrate that inhibition of annexin A2 expression in glioma cells could become a new target for glioma therapy.
