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 multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Hypoxia is prevalent in the microenvironment of GBM, and promotes tumorigenesis and resistance to anticancer therapy. However, its mechanism remains incompletely understood.

methodsWe used immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blots to assess c-Myc and Rab7a expression levels in 12 GBM specimens from a single institution. A luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirmed whether Rab7a is transcriptionally regulated by c-Myc. To clarify the precise role of c-Myc/Rab7a on GBM cell proliferation, we did

resultsGene and protein expression of c-Myc and Rab7a were significantly upregulated in GBM specimens. Moreover, c-Myc regulated Rab7a by specifically interacting with the Rab7a promoter. Furthermore, hypoxia activated the c-Myc/Rab7a pathway, which protects GBM cells from damage caused by hypoxia. Importantly, c-Myc/Rab7a inhibited apoptosis and induced autophagy

conclusionsCollectively, our results suggest that the c-Myc/Rab7a pathway protects GBM cells from hypoxic injury via regulation of apoptosis and autophagy, contributing to the growth of GBM.
