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

Glioma is one of the most commonly diagnosed intracranial malignancies. The molecular mechanism underlying the development of glioma is still largely unknown. In this study, we present the first report concerning the function and mechanism of cyclin-dependent kinase-like 3 (CDKL3) in the development and prognosis of glioma. It is shown that CDKL3 was upregulated in glioma tissues and could independently predict poor prognosis of patients. Silencing CDKL3 in glioma cells could inhibit cell proliferation and migration and induce cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, whereas the overexpression of CDKL3 promoted cell proliferation. The in vivo experiments also indicated that knockdown of CDKL3 significantly suppressed tumor growth of glioma. Gene expression profiling of CDKL3 knockdown U87 cells identified RRM2 as a potential target of CDKL3, which was proved to have direct interaction with CDKL3. Given similar effects on glioma development with CDKL3, knockdown of RRM2 could rescue the effects of CDKL3 overexpression on glioma cells. Moreover, knockdown of CDKL3 or RRM2 suppressed the activity of JNK signaling, whereas CDKL3 overexpression produced the opposite effect. In conclusion, our results identified CDKL3 as a promotor for glioma, probably through the regulation of RRM2 and activation of the JNK signalling pathway, highlighting the significance of CDKL3 as a promising therapeutic target of glioma.
