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

The epigenetic alteration is widely understood as the key to cancer initiation. Herein, we intended to clarify the role of transcription factor 3 (TCF3) in the development of glioma and the behind epigenetic mechanism. Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified a TCF3-DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-secreted frizzled related protein 1 (SFRP1) axis which was differentially expressed and interacted in gliomas. More specifically, TCF3 activated DNMT1 transcription, and DNMT1 repressed SFRP1 expression. TCF3 and DNMT1 were overexpressed, while SFRP1 was downregulated in glioma. Functionally, TCF3 silencing inhibited cell proliferation and migration, and promoted apoptosis, which were reversed by DNMT1. SFRP1 inhibited the tumor supporting effects of DNMT1 on glioma cells. Moreover, TCF3 downregulation or SFRP1 overexpression inhibited tumorigenesis and enhanced apoptosis of glioma cells, while DNMT1 enhanced tumorigenesis and repressed apoptosis in tumor tissues in vivo. The Wnt pathway was a downstream effector of the TCF3-DNMT1-SFRP1 axis. Collectively, this study determined a novel therapeutic target TCF3 for glioma from the perspective of epigenetic alteration via regulation of SFRP1 expression in a DNMT1-dependent manner.
