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

Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) has been previously verified to be an endosomal protein that prevents viral infection. Recent findings suggested IFITM3 as a key factor in tumor invasion and progression. To clarify the role and molecular mechanism of IFITM3 in Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) progression, we investigated the expression of IFITM3 in glioma datasets culled from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Primary GBM stem cells (GSCs) were cultured and identified in vitro. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments were established by using shRNAs and lentiviral vectors targeting IFITM3. Co-culture system of GSCs and vascular endothelial cells was constructed in a Transwell chamber. Tube formation and spheroid-based angiogenesis assays were performed to determine the angiogenic capacity of endothelial cells. Results revealed that IFITM3 is elevated in GBM samples and predictive of adverse outcome. Mechanistically, GSCs-derived IFITM3 causes activation of Jak2/STAT3 signaling and leads to robust secretion of bFGF into tumor environment, which eventually results in enhanced angiogenesis. Taken together, these evidence indicated IFITM3 as an essential factor in GBM angiogenesis. Our findings provide a new insight into mechanism by which IFITM3 modulates GBM angiogenesis.
