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

backgroundIn the present study, the synergistic effects and mechanism of recombinant viral vector-mediated co-expression plasmids stat1 and stat3-siRNA on glioma were investigated in vivo and in vitro.

methodsCo-expression plasmids for stat1/stat3-siRNA were constructed and packaged into lentivirus and adenovirus for cell and animal experiments. Real-time PCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect the expression of STAT1 and STAT3 at gene and protein levels in U251 cells. CCK-8, TUNEL, flow cytometry, and cell scratching assays were performed to detect the therapeutic effect of the co-expression plasmid stat1/stat3-siRNA on glioma in vitro. U251 glioma cells were injected into nude mice to observe therapeutic effect of stat1/stat3-siRNA.Transcriptome sequencing was utilized to further explore the possible mechanism.

resultsTreatment of glioma cells and xenograft animal model with the co-expression plasmid stat1/stat3-siRNA led to a significant increase in STAT1 and a marked decrease in STAT3 expression at both mRNA and protein expression levels. Compared to the single-gene stat1 and stat3-siRNA groups, stat1/stat3-siRNA group demonstrated a more pronounced promoting apoptosis of U251, but cell viability and migration, as well as reduced tumor growth in nude mice were not significant. Transcriptome sequencing results indicated that the modulation of multiple nodes within the FOXO signaling pathway may represent the main mechanism by which co-expression of lenti-stat1/stat3-SiRNA induces U251 cell apoptosis.

conclusionsThe co-expression plasmid stat1/stat3-siRNA significantly induces apoptosis more effectively than individual stat1 and stat3-siRNA constructs. The potential mechanism involves the alternation of multiple nodes in the FOXO signaling pathway.
