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

aimsGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal tumor with a median patient survival of 14 to 15 months. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) play a critical role in tumor initiation and therapeutic resistance in GBM. B3GNT5 has been suggested as the key glycosyltransferase in the biosynthesis of the (neo-) lacto series of glycosphingolipid. In this study, we evaluated the B3GNT5 expression in GSCs as well as the correlation with clinical data in GBM.

methodsThe mRNA levels of B3GNT5 in normal astrocytes, four glioma cell lines, and four GSCs were evaluated using real-time PCR. Small interference RNAs (siRNAs) were used to inhibit B3GNT5 expression and analyze its ability to form neurospheres. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the association with B3GNT5 expression and tumor grade and GBM subtypes as well as patient survival using public datasets.

resultsB3GNT5 expression was significantly elevated in GSCs compared with normal astrocytes, glioma cell lines, and their matched differentiated tumor cells. Knockdown of B3GNT5 in GSCs decreased the neurosphere formation. Patients with high B3GNT5 expression had a short overall survival. B3GNT5 is correlated with classical and mesenchymal GBM subtypes.

conclusionThe findings suggest the central role of B3GNT5 in regulating malignancy of GBM.
