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 (GBM) is a malignant primary brain tumor. The 5-year relative survival rate of patients with GBM remains <30% on average despite aggressive treatments, and secondary therapy fails in 90% of patients. In chemotherapeutic failure, detoxification proteins are crucial to the activity of chemotherapy drugs. Usually, glutathione S-transferase (GST) superfamily members act as detoxification enzymes by activating xenobiotic metabolites through conjugation with glutathione in healthy cells. However, some overexpressed GSTs not only increase GST activity but also trigger chemotherapy resistance and tumorigenesis-related signaling transductions. Whether GSTM3 is involved in GBM chemoresistance remains unclear. In the current study, we found that T98G, a GBM cell line with pre-existing temozolomide (TMZ) resistance, has high glycolysis and GSTM3 expression. GSTM3 knockdown in T98G decreased glycolysis ability through lactate dehydrogenase A activity reduction. Moreover, it increased TMZ toxicity and decreased invasion ability. Furthermore, we provide next-generation sequencing-based identification of significantly changed messenger RNAs of T98G cells with GSTM3 knockdown for further research. GSTM3 was downregulated in intrinsic TMZ-resistant T98G with a change in the expression levels of some essential glycolysis-related genes. Thus, GSTM3 was associated with glycolysis in chemotherapeutic resistance in T98G cells. Our findings provide new insight into the GSTM3 mechanism in recurring GBM.
