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

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a kind of typical life-threatening extracranial tumor in children. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is closely related to multiple cancer pathological processes. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) is a top-ranked prognostic risk gene in NB; however, its function is uncertain. The expression of m6A-associated enzymes in patients with NB was analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database. The IGF2BP3 level in NB cell lines and primary samples was tested using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot method, and immunohistochemical analysis. The IGF2BP3 function in cell proliferation was clarified based on many functional in vitro and in vivo experiments. The interaction between IGF2BP3 and N-myc was researched via RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), m6A RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. The 16 m6A-regulated enzymes in NB were researched, and the result indicated that IGF2BP3 overexpression was related to cancer progression, COG risk, and survival based on the GEO and TARGET databases. Besides, the IGF2BP3 and MYCN levels were positively correlated. IGF2BP3 expression levels increased in MYCN-amplified NB clinical samples and cells. Knockdown of IGF2BP3 inhibited N-myc expression and NB cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. IGF2BP3 regulates MYCN RNA stability by modifying m6A. In addition, we demonstrated that N-myc is a transcription factor that directly promotes IGF2BP3 expression in NB cells. IGF2BP3 regulates the proliferation of NB cells via m6A modification of MYCN. N-myc also acts as a transcription factor that regulates IGF2BP3 expression. A positive feedback loop between IGF2BP3 and N-myc facilitates NB cell proliferation.
