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

Glioblastoma progression is mainly characterized by intense apoptosis resistance and marked necrosis. Over-expression of BCL2L12, a novel member of Bcl-2 family has been shown in primary glioblastoma. BCL2L12 blocks effective caspase-3/7 maturation and inhibits p53 tumor suppressor, deriving resistance toward apoptosis and inducing extensive cell necrosis. Cisplatin is a major chemotherapeutic agent which has a broad range of anti-neoplastic activities including apoptosis induction. To investigate the effect of cisplatin on the expression of BCL2L12 in glioblastoma cells, two glioblastoma cell lines were treated with different concentrations of cisplatin for 48 h. The cell viability and IC50 was determined using MTT assay. Then, the two glioblastoma cell lines were treated with 48 h IC50 concentration of cisplatin for 24, 48, and 72 h. Apoptosis induction was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Gene expression study was performed on BCL2L12 and TBP as target and internal control genes, respectively. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction results showed that BCL2L12 gene expression was significantly (p = 0.001) downregulated in the presence of cisplatin. In conclusion, cisplatin treatment induced a time-dependent apoptosis in glioblastoma cells, at least partially via downregulation of BCL2L12 gene expression.
