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

objectivesTo investigate the mechanism by which circ_EPHB4 regulates temozolomide (TMZ) sensitivity of glioma cells through the miR-424-5p/Wnt3 signal axis.

methodsWe detected the expression levels of circ_EPHB4, miR-424-5p and Wnt3 mRNA in glioma specimens from 25 patients with primary glioma and 25 patients experiencing relapse following temozolomide-based chemotherapy and in TMZ-sensitive and -resistant glioma A172 and SHG44 cells with circ_EPHB4 knockdown using qRT-PCR, and Wnt3 protein expression level was detected with Western blotting. Cell viability, colony-forming ability, and apoptosis of the cells with circ_EPHB4 knockdown were assessed, and the targeted regulation relationship between circ_EPHB4, miR-424-5p, and Wnt3 was verified by dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiments. The effect of circ_EPHB4 knockdown on tumorigenesis of glioma cells was evaluated in subcutaneous tumor-bearing nude mouse models.

resultsThe expression of circ_EPHB4 was significantly increased in glioma tissues and cells as compared with normal neural tissues and astrocytes (

conclusionsCirc_EPHB4 regulates Wnt3 expression through "sponge adsorption" of miR-424-5p, thereby modulating TMZ-resistant glioblastoma cell clonogenesis, apoptosis, and TMZ sensitivity, suggesting the potential of circ_EPHB4 as a therapeutic target for reversing drug resistance of gliomas.
