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

Malignant glioma is the most common primary malignancy in the brain. It is aggressive, highly invasive, and destructive. Studies have shown that sevoflurane can affect the invasion and migration of a variety of malignant tumors. However, its effects on human glioma cells and related mechanisms are not clear. Cultured U251 and U87 cells were pretreated with sevoflurane. The effect of sevoflurane on cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and invasion ability were evaluated by MTT, wound healing assay, cell apoptosis and transwell assays, respectively. miRNA-124-3p and ROCK1 signaling pathway genes expression in sevoflurane treated cell lines was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. The potential target genes of miRNA were predicted by online software. Luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the direct targeting of ROCK1 by miRNA-124-3p. In present studies, sevoflurane inhibits glioma cells proliferation, invasion and migration. Additionally, inversely correlation between miR-124-3p and ROCK1 expression in sevoflurane treated glioma cells was observed. Furthermore, sevoflurane inhibits glioma cells proliferation, migration and invasion through miR-124-3p/ROCK1 axis. Taken together, our study revealed that sevoflurane can inhibit glioma cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Its mechanism may be related to the upregulation of miR-124-3p, which suppresses ROCK1 signaling pathway. The results of the study will help to understand the pharmacological effects of inhaled general anesthetics more comprehensively and help to provide an experimental basis for selecting more reasonable anesthetics for cancer patients.
