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

Procollagen lysyl hydroxylase 1 (PLOD1) is highly expressed in malignant tumors such as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that PLOD1 is associated with the progression of GBM, particularly the most malignant mesenchymal subtype (MES). Moreover, in the TCGA and CGGA datasets, the mean survival time of patients with high PLOD1 expression was significantly shorter than that of patients with low expression. The clinical samples confirmed this result. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of PLOD1 on the development of mesenchymal GBM in vitro and in vivo and its possible mechanisms. Molecular experiments were conducted on the patient-derived glioma stem cells and found that PLOD1 expressed higher in tumor tissues and cancer cell lines of patients with GBM, especially in the MES. PLOD1 also enhanced tumor viability, proliferation, migration, and promoted MES transition while inhibited apoptosis. Tumor xenograft results also indicated that PLOD1 overexpression significantly promotes malignant behavior of tumors. Mechanistically, bioinformatics analysis further revealed that PLOD1 expression was closely associated with the NF-κB signaling pathway. Besides, we also found that hypoxic environments also enhanced the tumor-promoting effects of PLOD1. In conclusion, overexpression of PLOD1 may be an important factor in the enhanced invasiveness and MES transition of GBM. Thus, PLOD1 is a potential treatment target for mesenchymal GBM or even all GBM.
