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

purposeAHNAK is originally identified as a giant protein based on the estimated size of approximately 700 kDa. The aim of this study is to identify the role of AHNAK in the pathogenesis of glioma.

methodsWe tested AHNAK mRNA level in a panel of six human glioma cell lines, and in 30 cases of normal brain tissues and 73 cases of glioma tissue samples using a qRT-PCR method. Further, we analyzed the relationship of AHNAK expression with clinicopathological characteristics in glioma patients. Meanwhile, we analyzed the relationship of expression of AHNAK and survival of glioma patients in survival analyses. Then,

resultsWe found that the mRNA levels of AHNAK were down-regulated in 4 of 6 human glioma cell lines, especially in U87 and U251 cell lines. Meanwhile, in glioma patients, a negative correlation was found between the expression of AHNAK and the glioma histopathology. And a low expression of AHNAK was a significant and independent prognostic factor for poor survival of glioma patients. Through over expression of AHNAK in both of U87 and U251, we demonstrated that overexpression of AHNAK could inhibit glioma cell proliferation and invasion, induce apoptosis, and inhibit in vivo glioma tumor growth and ki-67 expression.

conclusionsThe AHNAK acts as a potential tumor suppressor. Our study provides a preclinical basis for developing AHNAK as a reliable clinical prognostic indicator for glioma patients, and a new biomarker for treatment response, and a potentially therapeutic target in glioma management options.
