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

Noncoding RNAs regulate transcription of gene expression and play an important role in the pathogenesis of glioblastomas. These tumors are heterogeneous with some glioma stem cells (GSCs) that are highly tumorigenic subpopulations of cells contributing to recurrence and treatment resistance. In this study, GSCs were established by neurosphere cultures of primary glioblastoma cells and validated by the expression of GSC marker CD133. The expression of the long noncoding RNA HOTAIRM1 was detected using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The role of HOTAIRM1 in the proliferation, apoptosis, stemness, and tumorigenicity of GSCs was investigated by soft agar colony formation, flow cytometry, TUNEL analysis, sphere formation, and in vivo xenograft models through silencing of HOTAIRM1. The expression of HOTAIRM1 and the neighboring HOX genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR in different grades of gliomas and nontumor tissues. We found that HOTAIRM1 is significantly elevated in GSCs. The silencing of HOTAIRM1 significantly impairs the proliferation, apoptosis, self-renewal, tumorigenesis of GSCs. In addition, HOTAIRM1 is significantly upregulated in gliomas and associated with tumor grade and patient survival. HOTAIRM1 neighboring genes, HOXA1, HOXA2, and HOXA3, are also significantly upregulated in gliomas and correlate with the expression of HOTAIRM1. Among them, HOXA2 and HOXA3 were identified as being upregulated in GSCs and contributed to the self-renewal of these stem cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that HOTAIRM1 plays a critical role in the self-renewal of GSCs. These data also suggest that overexpression of HOTAIRM1 can be a negative prognostic factor for patient survival in malignant glioma and may be a promising potential therapeutic target.
