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

Background: The proneural-to-mesenchymal transition (PMT) represents a crucial phenotypic transformation in glioblastoma. Glioma-associated mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (GaMSCs) play a significant role in diverse biological processes of gliomas. However, the impact of exosomes released from GaMSCs (GaMSCs-Exos) on the PMT of glioblastoma remains inadequately understood. This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of GaMSCs-derived exosomal miRNA-191-5p on the PMT of glioblastoma. Methods and Results: Conditioned medium from three independently established GaMSCs lines (GaMSCs-CM) significantly enhanced the tumorigenicity of glioma cells. Further analysis demonstrated that GaMSC-Exos, isolated from GaMSCs-CM, promoted both the tumorigenicity and PMT of glioma cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Exosomal miR-191-5p derived from GaMSCs was identified as the principal mediator. Overexpression and inhibition of miR-191-5p affected the tumorigenicity and PMT of glioma cells, in both laboratory and animal models. Bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-191-5p targets PTEN. Additionally, rescue experiments indicated that increased PTEN expression could reverse the effects of miR-191-5p overexpression on tumorigenicity and PMT through modulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the role of GaMSC-Exos in mediating the intercellular transfer of miRNA-191-5p, which facilitates the PMT of glioma. The process underlying the enhanced aggressiveness and PMT is driven by miR-191-5p, promoting glioma progression by targeting PTEN and activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
