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

The COP9 signalosome is composed of 8 subunits (CSN1-CSN8) and plays a key role in regulating the activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system by modulating Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases. While the function of the COP9 signalosome in regulating protein homeostasis is well established, little is known about its role in glioblastoma. Here, using patient-derived glioblastoma stem cell lines, we identified CSN1 as a crucial COP9 signalosome subunit for in vitro growth. CSN1 knockout was further found to significantly extend survival in orthotopic glioblastoma xenograft models. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that CSN1 knockout disrupted transcriptional programs involved in cell cycle progression and activated apoptotic pathways. Molecular analysis further determined that CSN1 is required for COP9 signalosome complex assembly and regulates AP-1 activation via JNK1/2/3 and c-Jun phosphorylation. These results highlight the essentiality of CSN1 for glioblastoma stem cell growth and provide insights into the cellular mechanisms controlled by CSN1 and the COP9 signalosome.
