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

backgroundProtein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) plays a crucial role in various pathophysiological processes and diseases. Glioblastoma (GBM; WHO Grade 4 glioma) is the most common and lethal primary brain tumor in adults, with a prognosis that is extremely poor, despite being less common than other systemic malignancies. Our current research finds PRMT6 upregulated in GBM, enhancing tumor malignancy. Yet, the specifics of PRMT6's regulatory processes and potential molecular mechanisms in GBM remain largely unexplored.

methodsPRMT6's expression and prognostic significance in GBM were assessed using glioma public databases, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunoblotting. Scratch and Transwell assays examined GBM cell migration and invasion. Immunoblotting evaluated the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Wnt-β-catenin pathway-related proteins. Dual-luciferase reporter assays and ChIP-qPCR assessed the regulatory relationship between PRMT6 and YTHDF2. An in situ tumor model in nude mice evaluated in vivo conditions.

resultsBioinformatics analysis indicates high expression of PRMT6 and YTHDF2 in GBM, correlating with poor prognosis. Functional experiments show PRMT6 and YTHDF2 promote GBM migration, invasion, and EMT. Mechanistic experiments reveal PRMT6 and CDK9 co-regulate YTHDF2 expression. YTHDF2 binds and promotes the degradation of negative regulators APC and GSK3β mRNA of the Wnt-β-catenin pathway, activating it and consequently enhancing GBM malignancy.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate the PRMT6-YTHDF2-Wnt-β-Catenin axis promotes GBM migration, invasion, and EMT in vitro and in vivo, potentially serving as a therapeutic target for GBM.
