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

In human glioma tumours, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is overexpressed when compared with normal brain tissues and during oligodendroglioma progression. However, the molecular mechanisms mediated by HO-1 to promote glioblastoma remain unknown. We therefore aimed at investigating the effect of HO-1 expression and its selective enzymatic inhibition in two different cell lines (i.e. A172 and U87-MG). HO-1 was induced by hemin treatment (10 μM), and VP13/47 (100 μM) was used as a specific non-competitive inhibitor of HO-1 activity. Cell proliferation was measured by cell index measurement (xCelligence technology) and clonogenic assay, whereas cell migration was assessed by wound healing assay. Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) (i.e. CORM-3 and CORM-A1) were also used in a separate set of experiments to confirm the effect of HO-1 by-product in glioblastoma progression further. Our results were further validated using GSE4412 microarray dataset analysis and comparing biopsies overexpressing HO-1 with the rest of the cases. Our results showed that hemin was able to induce both HO-1 gene and protein expression in a cell-dependent manner being A172 more responsive to pharmacological upregulation of HO-1. Hemin, but not CORMs treatment, resulted in a significant increase of cell proliferation following 24 h of treatment as measured by increased cell index and colony formation capacity and such effect was abolished by VP13/47. Interestingly, both hemin and CORMs showed a significant effect on the wound healing assay also exhibiting cell specificity. Finally, our dataset analysis showed a positive correlation of HO-1 gene expression with ITGBI and ITGBII which are membrane receptors involved in cell adhesion, embryogenesis, tissue repair, immune response and metastatic diffusion of tumour cells. In conclusion, our data suggest that HO-1 and its by-product CO exhibit a cell-specific effect on various aspects of disease progression and are associated with a complex series of molecular mechanisms driving cell proliferation, survival and metastasis.
