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

Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member that is often over-expressed in the malignant brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). It has been previously shown that epidermal growth factor receptors up-regulate Mcl-1 contributing to a cell survival response. Hypoxia is a poor prognostic marker in glioblastoma despite the fact that hypoxic regions have areas of necrosis. Hypoxic regions of GBM also highly express the pro-cell death Bcl-2 family member BNIP3, yet when BNIP3 is overexpressed in glioma cells, it induces cell death. The reasons for this discrepancy are unclear. Herein we have found that Mcl-1 expression is reduced under hypoxia due to degradation by the E3 ligase FBW7 leading to increased hypoxia induced cell death. This cell death is reduced by EGFR activation leading to increased Mcl-1 expression under hypoxia. Conversely, BNIP3 is over-expressed in hypoxia at times when Mcl-1 expression is decreased. Knocking down BNIP3 expression reduces hypoxia cell death and Mcl-1 expression effectively blocks BNIP3 induced cell death. Of significance, BNIP3 and Mcl-1 are co-localized under hypoxia in glioma cells. These results suggest that Mcl-1 can block the ability of BNIP3 to induce cell death under hypoxia in GBM tumors.
