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

Glioma stem-like cells (GSLCs) are tumour initiating cells that drive tumorigenesis and progression through self-renewal and various differentiation potencies. Therefore, the identification of genes required for GSLC stemness and differentiation is vital for the development of novel targeted therapies. Sohlh1 belongs to the superfamily of bhlh transcription factors and serves as a tumour suppressor in glioma. The role of Sohlh1 in GSLCs remains unknown. Here, we demonstrated that Sohlh1 functioned through the SFRP1/Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway and led to the consequent suppression of GSLC stemness and the promotion of GSLC differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, Sohlh1 could directly bind to the promoter of SFRP1 and promote its transcriptional activity. SFRP1 mediated the effects of Sohlh1 on GSLC stemness and differentiation. Clinically, we observed a significant inverse correlation between Sohlh1 and Nestin expression levels, and a positive correlation between Sohlh1 and SFRP1 expression in glioma tissues. Collectively, our findings suggest an important role of the Sohlh1/SFRP1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway in regulating GSLC stemness and differentiation, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for glioma.
