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

Connexin 30 (Cx30), a tumour-suppressive gap junctional protein, impacts on insulin-like growth factor receptor 1-mediated progression and stemness of glioma. Of late, metabolic reprogramming, a recently adjudged hall mark of malignancy, could reasonably associated with the changes in gap junctional communication in glioma. This newly recognized hallmark of reprogramming of metabolism to maintain the rapid proliferation necessitates further probing to establish the stronger hall marks. Hence, the current study attempted to link the association between the expression of Cx30 with glucose uptake and glucose metabolism in glioma. We have transfected Cx30 in C6 glioma cells, characterized by a low level of intercellular communication and developed xenografts to study the status of glucose transporters (GLUTs), hexokinase 2 and Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK 1) along with human glioma tissues by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. The results showed a significant increase in the levels of GLUTs, hexokinase 2 and PDK 1 in C6-implanted rat xenografts and high grades compared to their respective controls, whereas Cx30-transfected C6-implanted rat xenograft and low grades show no significant change compared to that of controls supporting the association between Gap junctional communications and glucose metabolism. We strongly speculate the impact of Cx30 over the glucose metabolism that might provide therapeutic prospects and challenges for anti-glycolytic cancer therapy.
