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

backgroundMeningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumours. They are classified as grade I, II, and III based on their histopathological features. While most meningiomas can be managed by surgery alone, adjuvant treatment may be required in case of recurrent, or high-grade tumours. To date, chemotherapy has proven ineffective in meningioma patients, reinforcing the need for novel therapeutic targets and molecular biomarkers.

methodsUsing meningioma tissues and in vitro models, we investigated microRNA levels in meningioma samples of different grades, as well as their regulation. Based on this, we also investigated candidate miRNAs expression in serum, and their potential as biomarkers.

findingsWe found that miR-497~195 cluster expression in meningioma decreases with increasing malignancy grade, and that Cyclin D1 overexpression correlated with downregulation of the miR-497~195 cluster. GATA binding protein 4, a transcription factor upregulated in malignant meningioma, caused increased cell viability by controlling the expression of the miR-497~195 cluster, resulting in increased Cyclin D1 expression. Accordingly, GATA-4 inhibition via the small-molecule inhibitor NSC140905 restored miR-497~195 cluster expression, resulting in decreased viability, and Cyclin D1 downregulation. Analysis of the miR-497~195 cluster expression in serum exosomes derived from high-grade meningioma patients, revealed lower levels of miR-497 compared to those of benign origin.

interpretationOur data suggest that GATA-4 could be a novel potential therapeutic target, and miR-497 could serve as a potential non-invasive biomarker for high-grade meningioma.
