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

In recent decades, the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 have been extensively reported to be associated with tumorigenesis. In addition, Twist signaling induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in glioblastoma development. In the present study, in vitro assays were used to investigate the role of CXCR4 and Twist in human glioblastoma. We explored the impact of CXCR4 and Twist on human glioblastoma using in vitro protein and gene assays. We found the administration of CXCL12 upregulated the expression of p-ERK, p-AKT, Twist, N-cadherin, and MMP9 in U87 cells, whereas the increase of E-cadherin protein was affected. Subsequently, Twist activity and EMT signaling were directly influenced by PD98059 and LY294002. Most importantly, the genetic silencing of Twist inhibited CXCL12-induced EMT occurrence, including proliferation, migration, and tumor formation of U87 cells. In conclusion, CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway activates ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling to upregulate Twist pathway, leading to the progression of EMT in human glioblastoma. Our study creates a new stage for molecule-targeted therapy of human glioblastoma.
