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

backgroundGlioblastoma is the most common form of malignant brain cancer and has a poor prognosis in adults. We identified Dhx15 as a candidate tumour suppressor gene in glioma by transposon-based mutagenesis. Dhx15 is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent RNA helicase belonging to the DEAH-box (DHX) helicase family, but its role in cancer remains elusive.

methodsDHX15 expression levels were examined in glioma cell lines. DHX15 functions were examined by gain- and loss-of-function analyses. Protein motifs required for the function of DHX15 were investigated by the analysis of mutant proteins.

resultsDHX15 expression was lower in human glioma cell lines than in normal neural stem cells. Dhx15 knockdown resulted in enhanced proliferation of primary immortalised mouse astrocytes, supporting the notion that DHX15 is a tumour suppressor. Retroviral-mediated transduction of DHX15 into glioma cell lines suppressed proliferation and foci formation in vitro. Moreover, DHX15 suppressed tumour formation in a xenograft mouse model. ATPase activity was not required for the growth-inhibitory function of DHX15; however, the Ia, Ib, IV, and V motifs, which act as RNA-binding domains in DHX15, were essential. qPCR analysis revealed that DHX15 suppressed expression of NF-κB downstream target genes as well as the genes involved in splicing.

conclusionsThese findings provide evidence that DHX15 acts as a tumour suppressor gene in glioma.
