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

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α) is a key modulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. It is a coactivator of multiple transcription factors and regulates metabolic processes. However, little is known about the expression and function of PGC1α in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most prevalent and invasive type of brain tumor. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the biological function, localization and expression of PGC1α in GBM. It was observed that PGC1α expression is increased in the tumor cells, and a higher level of expression was observed in the mitochondria. Bioinformatics analyses identified that metabolic and mitochondrial genes were highly expressed in GBM cells, with a high PGC1α mRNA expression. Notably, mitochondrial function-associated genes were highly expressed in cells alongside high PGC1α expression. Collectively, the results of the present study indicate that PGC1α is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in GBM and may have a role in tumor pathogenesis and progression.
