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

PCDH9, a member of the protocadherin superfamily, is frequently lost in many different cancer types. This study aimed to detect PCDH9 expression in glioma tissues. This study also assessed the effects of PCDH9 expression in two different glioma cell lines. This was accomplished by manipulating PCDH9 expression in these glioma cell lines. The data showed that the expression of PCDH9 mRNA and protein was significantly decreased in gliomas compared to normal brain tissues. Lentivirus carrying PCDH9 cDNA restored PCDH9 expression in the U87 and U251 glioma cell lines. PCDH9 restoration in these cell lines reduced tumor cell viability, induced apoptosis, and caused G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. PCDH9 expression also suppressed the colony formation ability and invasion capacity of U87 and U251 cells. Molecularly, the restoration of PCDH9 expression upregulated Bax protein expression, but downregulated Bcl-2 and cyclin D1 expression. These data from the current study suggest that the loss of PCDH9 expression could contribute to glioma development and/or progression. Further studies will evaluate PCDH9 expression as a biomarker for the early detection of gliomas and as a prognostic indicator for this cancer type.
