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

Non-SMC (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes) condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) has been shown to facilitate progression and predict adverse prognostic outcome in many cancer types. However, the function of NCAPH in gliomas is still unclear. Series of experiments were taken to uncover the function of NCAPH in glioma. The expression of NCAPH and potential mechanism regulating progression of glioma was verified by bioinformatics analysis. Lentiviral transfection was used for establishment of loss-of-function and gain-of-function cell lines. CCK-8 assay and Colony-formation assay were used to evaluate proliferation. Transwell assay and Cell wound healing assay were used to assess migration and invasion. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. Protein and RNA were quantified by WB and RT-PCR, respectively. The nude mice model of glioma was used to evaluate the effect of NCAPH in vivo. The expression of NCAPH increased significantly in glioma tissues and correlated with WHO grade, IDH wild-type and non-1p/19q codeletion. Glioma patients with high expression of NCAPH had an undesirable prognosis. Functionally, upregulated NCAPH promotes the malignant hallmarks of glioma cells in vivo and in vitro. NCAPH correlated with DNA damage repair ability of glioma cells and facilitated the proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma cells by promoting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study identifies the important pro-tumor role of NCAPH in glioma and suggests that NCAPH is a potential therapeutic target.
