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

backgroundQuiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 1 (QSOX1) involves in the formation of disulfide bonds and participates in the protein folding process. In recent years, accumulating evidences have shown that QSOX1 is a biomarker for tumor development and prognosis. However, the biological function of QSOX1 in glioblastoma (GBM) remains unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsQSOX1 expression in glioma and overall survival of glioma patients were analyzed through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases. shRNAs were used to decrease the expression of QSOX1 in U87 and U251 cells. Celltiter-Glo and colony formation assays were used to assess cell proliferation. Transwell and scratch assays were utilized to determine cell migration and invasion, the xenograft mouse models were established to evaluate the effect of QSOX1 knockdown in vivo. Western blot assays were used to detect the changes of E-cadherin/N-cadherin/vimentin and PI3K/Akt pathway.

resultsWe found that QSOX1 was upregulated in glioma, especially in GBM. Upregulation of QSOX1 was correlated with poor prognosis in glioma patients. We discovered for the first time that suppression of QSOX1 expression inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GBM cell lines. In addition, phosphorylated PI3K and Akt were downregulated in the QSOX1-knockdown groups. Moreover, QSOX1 knockdown-impaired cell growth was partially rescued by Akt activator.

conclusionOur findings revealed that QSOX1 was a novel biomarker for GBM patients and QSOX1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion through regulating PI3K/Akt pathway in GBM.
