Effect of Different Glucose Levels and Glycation on Meningioma Cell Migration and Invasion.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Meningiomas are predominantly benign tumors, but there are also malignant forms that are associated with a poor prognosis. Like almost all tumors, meningiomas metabolize glucose as part of aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) for energy supply, so there are attempts to influence the prognosis of tumor diseases using a glucose-reduced diet. This altered metabolism leads to so called hallmarks of cancer, such as glycation and glycosylation. In this study, we investigated the influence of low (3 mM), normal (5.5 mM) and high glucose (15 mM) on a malignant meningioma cell line (IOMM-Lee, WHO grade 3). In addition, the influence of methylglyoxal, a by-product of glycolysis and a precursor for glycation, was investigated. Impedance-based methods (ECIS and RTCA) were used to study migration and invasion, and immunoblotting was used to analyze the expression of proteins relevant to these processes, such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK), merlin or integrin ß1. We were able to show that low glucose reduced the invasive potential of the cells, which was associated with a reduced amount of sialic acid. Under high glucose, barrier function was impaired and adhesion decreased, which correlated with a decreased expression of FAK.
