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 (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain cancer in adults and has constantly been a focus of research. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the development of cancers. To illustrate the role of lncRNAs in the development of glioblastoma, high-throughput RNA sequencing was performed to obtain the transcripts using three freshly isolated tumor tissue samples from GBM patients and three normal brain tissue samples from the traumatic brain of patients. Then, a lncRNA, MGCG (MGC70870 is expressed at a high level in glioblastoma), which has not been reported previously in GBM, was found to be associated with the prognosis of patients. The results of bioinformatic analysis showed that MGCG was correlated with autophagy and positively correlated with the expression of the autophagy-related gene ATG2A. The data of mass spectrometry demonstrated that the hnRNPK protein was a direct target interacting with MGCG, and MGCG/hnRNPK promoted the development of GBM by enhancing the translation of ATG2A and autophagy. In conclusion, the present study showed that MGCG has the potential to promote the development of GBM and may become a candidate for molecular diagnostics and treatment of tumors.
