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

objectiveThis paper investigated the effects of STAT3 through promoting FOXP1 transcription on proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in glioma cells.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assay were administered to assess the mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3 and FOXP1 in glioma tissues and cells, respectively. Luciferase reporter and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were implemented to determine the correlation between STAT3 and FOXP1. MTT and colony formation assays were conducted to identify cell growth. Flow cytometry was run to detect the cell apoptosis rate of glioma cells. Transwell assays were conducted to reveal cell invasion ability.

resultsThe mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3 were highly expressed in glioma tissues and cells. After cells transfected with siRNA of STAT3, both STAT3 and FOXP1 were simultaneously downregulated. STAT3 directly regulated FOXP1 transcription. STAT3 promoted cell proliferation, inhibited cell apoptosis and enhanced cell invasion through promoting FOXP1 transcription in glioma cells.

conclusionIn summary, STAT3 gene was a transcriptional regulator of FOXP1. Depleted STAT3 restrained cell proliferation and invasion, promoted cell apoptosis in glioma cells. This molecular mechanism between STAT3 and FOXP1 can serve as a therapeutic target for glioma treatment.
