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

It has been reported previously that the expression of glucose transporter member 3 (GLUT3) is increased in malignant glioma cells compared with normal glial cells. However, the regulating mechanism that causes this phenomenon remains unknown. The present study investigated the regulating role of transcription factor specific protein 1 (Sp1) in GLUT3 expression in a human glioma cell line. In the present study, Sp1 was identified to directly bind to the GLUT3 5'-untranslated region in human glioma U251 cells. Small interfering RNA- and the Sp1-inhibitor mithramycin A-mediated Sp1 knockdown experiments revealed that Sp1 depletion decreased glucose uptake and inhibited cell growth and invasion of U251 cells by downregulating GLUT3 expression. Therefore Sp1 is an important positive regulator for the expression of GLUT3 in human glioma cells, and may explain the overexpression of GLUT3 in U251 cells. These results suggest that Sp1 may have a role in glioma treatment.
