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 the most common tumor of the human central nervous system. Aerobic glycolysis has been strongly related to tumor development and malignant behavior. In this study, we found that MBNL1, circNTRK2, and NTRK2-243aa were markedly downregulated and inhibited glycolysis in GBM, whereas PAX5 was upregulated and promoted glycolysis. Functionally, MBNL1 promoted the expression of circNTRK2 by binding to NTRK2 pre-mRNA, as validated using RNA pull-down and nascent RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Mass spectrometry, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining methods were used to detect the expression of NTRK2-243aa. NTRK2-243aa-encoded by circNTRK2-phosphorylated PAX5 at Y102, leading to the attenuation of the half-life of PAX5, as validated by in vitro kinase and MG132 rescue assays. Besides, PAX5 transcriptionally facilitated the expression of PKM2 and HK2 by binding to their promoter regions, as verified by luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Finally, overexpression of MBNL1 and circNTRK2 combined with PAX5 knockdown effectively inhibited the formation of GBM xenograft tumors and significantly prolonged the survival of orthotopic nude mice. We have delineated that the MBNL1/circNTRK2/PAX5 pathway plays a crucial role in regulating GBM glycolysis and could provide potential targets and alternative strategies for the treatment of GBM.
