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

To investigate the effects of hypoxia on the features of cancer stem cells in the glioma cancer U87 cell line and underlying mechanism, stem cell markers and features in U87 were studied under the hypoxic and normoxic culture conditions by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot analysis, MTT, a colony formation test and flow cytometry. Compared to the normoxic group, the cluster of differentiation 133+ phenotype, clone formation rate and cell vitality were significantly elevated in U87 cells cultured in a hypoxic microenvironment. Also, the mRNA and protein expression of neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 (Notch1) and Oct3/4 were significantly elevated in U87 cells cultured in a hypoxic microenvironment, however, transcription factor SOX-2 expression was not significantly changed. These results indicate that hypoxia can promote the proliferation of glioma stem cells and maintain the characteristics of stem cells through the activation of Notch1 and Oct3/4 or Notch1 activation, affecting the biological characteristics of glioma cells.
