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

backgroundIntracranial gliomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors in humans, and glioblastoma multiforme is the most malignant intracranial glioma. The nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing family are crucial regulators of inflammatory and innate immune responses. NLRP12 codes for the monarch-1 protein, which regulates immune responses in humans. Data from a next-generation sequencing database indicated that NLRP12 expression is increased in glioma cells. However, the relationship between NLRP12 levels and gliomas is unclear.

methodsTo explore the role of NLRP12-related translation factors and proteins in glioma, we evaluated the clinical data and paraffin sections from glioma patients. The expression of NLRP12 was evaluated using immunohistochemical analysis, and clinical parameters were analyzed using chi-square and Kaplan-Meier survival tests.

resultsThe degree of malignancy and prognosis highly correlated with NLRP12 levels. In addition, the siRNA-mediated downregulation of NLRP12 in glioma cell lines decreased proliferation, invasion, and migration. The levels of VEGF, N-cadherin, and cyclin D1 were downregulated after knockdown of NRLP12 in glioma cell lines, as observed using western blotting in vitro. Knockdown of NLRP12 attenuated the tumor progression in vivo.

conclusionThe expression of NLRP12 may be an independent prognostic factor and a potential target for the treatment of intracranial glioma.
