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

backgroundThe prognosis for diffuse gliomas is very poor and the mechanism underlying their malignant progression remains unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role and mechanism of the RNA N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m

methodsYTHDF2 mRNA levels and functions were assessed using several independent datasets. Western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the expression levels of YTHDF2 and other molecules in human and mouse tumor tissues and cells. Knockdown and overexpression were used to evaluate the effects of YTHDF2, methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), and UBX domain protein 1 (UBXN1) on glioma malignancy in cell and orthotopic xenograft models. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), methylated RIP, and RNA stability experiments were performed to study the mechanisms underlying the oncogenic role of YTHDF2.

resultsYTHDF2 expression was positively associated with a higher malignant grade and molecular subtype of glioma and poorer prognosis. YTHDF2 promoted the malignant progression of gliomas in both in vitro and in vivo models. Mechanistically, YTHDF2 accelerated UBXN1 mRNA degradation via METTL3-mediated m

conclusionsOur findings confirmed that YTHDF2 promotes the malignant progression of gliomas and revealed important insight into the upstream regulatory mechanism of NF-κB activation via UBXN1 with a primary focus on m
