MicroRNA-138 Increases Chemo-Sensitivity of Glioblastoma through Downregulation of Survivin.
Article in Biomedicines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 (GBM) is one of the most deadly cancers and poorly responses to chemotherapies, such as temozolomide (TMZ). Dysregulation of intrinsic signaling pathways in cancer cells are often resulted by dysregulated tumor suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs). Previously, we found miR-138 as one of tumor suppressive miRNAs that were significantly down-regulated in GBM. In this study, we demonstrated that ectopic over-expression of miR-138 sensitizes GBM cells to the treatment of TMZ and increased apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, miR-138 directly repressed the expression of Survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein, to enhance caspase-induced apoptosis upon TMZ treatment. Using an intracranial GBM xenograft mice model, we also showed that combination of miR-138 with TMZ increases survival rates of the mice compared to the control mice treated with TMZ alone. This study provides strong preclinical evidence of the therapeutic benefit from restoration of miR-138 to sensitize the GBM tumor to conventional chemotherapy.
