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

Glioma is the most common and malignant form of primary brain tumour, and is characterised by high proliferation and extensive invasion and neurological destruction. Demethylzeylasteral (T-96), which is extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii, is considered to have immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects. Here, the anti-tumour effect of T-96 on glioma was evaluated. Our results demonstrated that T-96 significantly inhibited glioma cell growth and induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase but did not induce apoptosis. Cell invasion and migration were dramatically suppressed after treatment with T-96. Almost all genes related to cell cycle and DNA replication were downregulated after treatment with T-96. Our results showed that miR-30e-5p was noticeably upregulated after T-96 treatment, and MYBL2, which is involved in cell cycle progression and is a target gene of miR-30e-5p, was significantly reduced in synchrony. Overexpression of MYBL2 partially rescued the T-96-induced inhibition of cell growth and proliferation. Moreover, a miR-30e-5p antagomir significantly reduced the upregulation of miR-30e-5p expression induced by T-96, leading to recovery of MYBL2 expression, and partially rescued the T-96-induced inhibition of cell growth and proliferation. More important, T-96 effectively upregulated miR-30e-5p expression and downregulated MYBL2 expression, thus inhibiting LN-229 cell tumour growth in a mouse model. These results indicated that T-96 might inhibit glioma cell growth by regulating the miR-30e-5p/MYBL2 axis. Our study demonstrated that T-96 might act as a promising agent for malignant glioma therapy.
