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

Our recent study demonstrated that glutamine synthetase (GS) may not only serve as a glutamate-converting enzyme in glial cells, but may also function as a regulator of astrocyte migration after injury. In this report, we showed that GS expression increased in cultured rat C6 glioma cells that underwent long-term serially propagation. The stable overexpression of GS in C6 glioma cells resulted in growth arrest and motility suppression; however the stable knockdown of GS resulted in motility enhancement. In correlation with cell aggregation, N-cadherin levels increased at sites of cell-cell contact in C6 cells overexpressing GS, and decreased in C6 cells with stable GS knockdown; total N-cadherin expression levels remained unchanged in these cells. In addition, levels of p21, a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, increased, while cyclin D1 levels decreased in C6 cells overexpressing GS. Our additional studies showed that N-cadherin-mediated cell-cell contacts were implicated in GS-induced cell growth arrest and impairment of cell migration, as evidenced by the inhibition of GS on cell growth and motility by the neutralizing anti-N-cadherin monoclonal antibody (GC-4 mAb). Collectively, these observations suggest a novel mechanism of growth regulation by GS that involves N-cadherin mediated cell-cell contact.
