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

Prolyl-4-hydroxylase subunit 2 (P4HA2) is a member of collagen modification enzymes involved in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Mounting evidence has suggested that deregulation of P4HA2 is common in cancer. However, the role of P4HA2 in glioma remains unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the expression pattern, oncogenic functions, and molecular mechanisms of P4HA2 in glioblastoma cells. The TCGA datasets and paraffin samples were used for examining the expressions of P4HA2. P4HA2-specific lentivirus was generated to assess its oncogenic functions. A P4HA2 enzyme inhibitor (DHB) and an AKT agonist (SC79) were utilized to study the mechanisms. As a result, we demonstrated that P4HA2 is overexpressed in glioma and inversely correlates with patient survival. Knockdown of P4HA2 inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) like phenotype of glioma cells
