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

Aberrant activation of extracellular signal‑regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) by phosphorylation modification can trigger tumor cell development in glioma. S‑nitrosylation, which refers to the covalent addition of a nitric oxide (NO) group to a cysteine (Cys) thiol, is an important post‑translational modification that occurs on numerous cancer‑associated proteins. Protein S‑nitrosylation can increase or decrease protein activity and stability, and subsequent signal transduction and cellular processes. However, the association between ERK1/2 S‑nitrosylation and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and the effects of ERK1 S‑nitrosylation on glioma cell survival are currently unknown. U251 glioma cells were treated with NO donors sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or S‑nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). CCK8 assay was used to assess the cell viability. NO levels in the medium were detected by Griess assay. Western blot analysis and biotin switch assay were employed to detect the ERK1/2 phosphorylation and S-nitrosylation. ERK1 wild-type and mutant plasmids were constructed, and used to transfect the U251 cells. Caspase-3 western blot analysis and flow cytometry were employed to assess cell apoptosis. The present study demonstrated that treatment with the NO donors SNP or GSNO led to an increase in ERK1/2 S‑nitrosylation, and a reduction in ERK1/2 phosphorylation, which was accompanied by growth inhibition of U251 glioma cells. Mutational analysis demonstrated that Cys183 was vital for S‑nitrosylation of ERK1, and that preventing ERK1 S‑nitrosylation by replacing Cys183 with alanine partially reversed GSNO‑induced cell apoptosis, and reductions in cell viability and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In addition, increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation was associated with decreased ERK1/2 S‑nitrosylation in human glioma tissues. These findings identified the relationship between ERK1/2 S‑nitrosylation and phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and revealed a novel mechanism of ERK1/2 underlying tumor cell development and apoptotic resistance of glioma.
