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

purposeBRCA1-associated protein (BRAP) was first identified by its ability to bind to the nuclear localization signalling motif of BRCA1 and other proteins. Subsequently, human BRAP has been found to exert multiple functions, many of which are related to cancer development. Up till now, however, the role of BRAP in glioma development has remained obscure. Here, we report a role for BRAP in mediating the proliferation and migration of glioma cells both in vitro and in vivo.

methodsThe expression of BRAP in 98 glioma patient samples was determined by immunohistochemistry, after which associations between BRAP expression and patient prognosis were assessed. A short hairpin RNA (shRNA) was used to knock down BRAP and an expression vector was used to exogenously overexpress BRAP in glioma cells. The effects of BRAP expression on tumour cell behaviour in vitro and in an in vivo xenograft mouse model were examined.

resultsWe found that in glioma patients BRAP expression was associated with a favourable prognosis. We also found that shRNA-mediated knockdown of BRAP facilitated the proliferation and migration of glioma cells and the self-renewal of glioma stem cells. In parallel, we found that BRAP knockdown increased tumour growth and invasion and decreased survival in an in vivo glioma xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, we found that BRAP inhibited glioma cell proliferation and migration, as well as glioma stem cell self-renewal via the TGF-β/PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway.

conclusionsTogether, our findings identify BRAP as a mediator of glioma cell proliferation, migration and glioma stem cell self-renewal.
