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 brain tumors affecting the central nervous system and are associated with a high mortality rate. DCF1 is a membrane protein that was previously found to play a role in neural stem cell differentiation. In the present study, we found that overexpression of dcf1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and dramatically promoted apoptosis in the glioblastoma U251 cell line. DCF1 deletion mutations in the functional region showed that the complete structure of DCF1 was necessary for apoptosis. Furthermore, significantly lower tumorigenicity was observed in athymic nude mice by transplanting U251 cells overexpressing dcf1. To decode the apoptosis induced by dcf1, mitochondrial structure and membrane potential in glioma cells were investigated and the results indicated obvious mitochondrial swelling, destruction of cristae, and a significant decline in membrane potential. Mechanismly, caspase-3 signaling was activated. Finally, endogenous dcf1 silence in U251 cells was investigated. Results showed a highly methylation at -1339 and -1322 position at dcf1 promoter sequence, revealing the causal relationship between dcf1 gene and tumorigencicity. The present study identified a previously unknown cancer apoptosis mechanism involving dcf1 overexpression and provided a novel approach to potentially treat glioma patients.
