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

E2F3a, as a member of the E2F family, is essential for cell division associated with the progression of many cancers. However, the biological effect of E2F3a on glioma is not understood as well. To investigate the functional mechanism of E2F3a in glioma, we examined the expression of E2F3a in glioma tissue and cell lines. We found that E2F3a was upregulated in glioma tissue compared with adjacent tissue, and this was associated with a poor survival rate. E2F3a was highly expressed in glioma cell lines compared with normal HEB cell lines. Knockdown of E2F3a significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted G0/G1 phase arrest, elevated apoptosis rates, and suppressed cell migration and invasion. However, overexpression of E2F3a markedly promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and inhibited apoptosis. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that knockdown of E2F3a expression dramatically inhibited U373 tumor growth in a nude mouse model. Results of real-time PCR and Western blot showed that the depletion of E2F3a upregulated the expression levels of cell apoptosis-related proteins and downregulated migration-related proteins. Conversely, E2F3a overexpression downregulated the expression levels of cell apoptosis-related proteins and upregulated migration-related proteins. In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of E2F3a in glioma and provide new insights into the diagnostics and therapeutics of gliomas.
