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

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary central nervous system malignancy, accounting for half of all intracranial primary tumors. In this study we constructed a multifunctional chlorotoxin fusion protein E-CHP that combines enhanced green fluorescent protein (E), glioma-targeting peptide chlorotoxin (C), destabilizing lipid membrane peptide riHA2 (H), and C-terminal and mouse double minute domains of p53 (P). E-CHP was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by His affinity chromatography. Fluorescence microscopy observation showed that E-CHP could effectively target glioma cells; real-time quantitative PCR revealed that E-CHP increased miR-374a expression; and the dual luciferase reporter assay showed that tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein (TNFAIP)8 is a direct target of miR-374a. E-CHP and miR-374a inhibited the proliferation and migration of glioma cells, and Western blot analysis indicated that they suppressed TNFAIP8 expression in glioma cells and promoted the expression of caspase-3 and -8. Finally, E-CHP and miR-374a stimulated the apoptosis of glioma cells, as determined by flow cytometry analysis. These results suggest that miR-374a is a new candidate target for glioma therapy, whereas E-CHP fusion protein has the potential to be developed as a multifunctional carrier for targeted drug delivery and therapy.
