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 the most common tumors in the central nervous system. This study aims to investigate the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) in human brain glioma tissues and the correlation between their expressions with clinical pathological features and clinical significance. The expressions of mRNA or protein of TGF-β1 and E-cadherin were detected by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot in these tissues. Positive rates of the expression of TGF-β1 and E-cadherin were 62.9 % and 38.6 % in brain tissues of glioma patients. The expressions of mRNA or protein for TGF-β1 in brain glioma tissues were significantly higher than that in normal brain tissues (p < 0.01). Their expressions in well-differentiated glioma brain tissues were lower than those in poorly differentiated glioma brain tissues (p < 0.01). A negative correlation was found between TGF-β1 and E-cadherin in brain glioma tissues (r = -0.302, p < 0.011). The cell numbers of C6 glioma through Transwell chambers were decreased significantly (p < 0.01), and the expression of TGF-β1 was downregulated significantly (p < 0.01). However, the expression of E-cadherin was upregulated significantly (p < 0.01) after transfecting TGF-β1 siRNA. The expression changes of TGF-β1 and E-cadherin may be related to the emergence and the development of glioma. Downregulation of TGF-β1 expression using siRNA can decrease the invasive capability of C6 glioma cells.
