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

backgroundGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of glioma in adults and children and is associated with very poor prognosis. Pediatric tumors are biologically distinct from adult GBM and differ in response to current GBM treatment protocols. Regarding pediatric GBM, new drug combinations and the molecular background of chemotherapy effects need to be investigated, in order to increase patient survival outcome.

methodsThe expression of the RNA-binding protein Musashi1 (MSI1) in pediatric glioma samples of different WHO tumor grades was investigated on the protein (immunohistochemistry) and on the RNA level (publicly accessible RNA sequencing dataset). The impact of the chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ) in combination with valproic acid (VPA) was tested in two pediatric glioblastoma-derived cell lines. The supportive effect of MSI1 expression against this treatment was investigated via transient knockdown and protein overexpression.

resultsMSI1 expression correlates with pediatric high-grade glioma (HGG). The combination of TMZ with VPA significantly increases the impact of drug treatment on cell viability in vitro. MSI1 was found to promote drug resistance to the combined treatment with TMZ and VPA.

conclusionMSI1 expression is a potential marker for pediatric HGG and increases chemoresistance. Inhibition of MSI1 might lead to an improved patient outcome and therapy response.
