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

purposeGlioblastoma (GBM) stands out as the most prevalent and aggressive intracranial tumor, notorious for its poor prognosis. The current standard-of-care for GBM patients involves surgical resection followed by radiotherapy, combined with concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy using Temozolomide (TMZ). The effectiveness of TMZ primarily relies on the activity of O

methodIn this study, we employed fusions of catalytically-inactive Cas9 (dCas9) to DNA methyltransferases (dCas9-DNMT3A) to selectively downregulation MGMT transcription by inducing methylation at MGMT promoter and K-M enhancer.

resultOur findings demonstrate a significant reduction in MGMT expression, leading to intensified TMZ sensitivity in the HEK293T cell line.

conclusionThis study serves as a proof of concept for the utilization of CRISPR-based gene suppression to overcome TMZ resistance and enhance the lethal effect of TMZ in glioblastoma tumor cells.
