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

Golgi phosphoprotein-3 (GOLPH3), an important protein in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, is overexpressed in and correlates with the pathological grade of glioma. However, the potential correlation between GOLPH3 and clinical outcome in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains unknown. In this study, we examined GOLPH3 expression in GBM by tissue microarray and correlated this measure to patient outcome. GOLPH3 expression in tumor tissue from 97 primary GBM patients was examined by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry. Potential effects of GOLPH3 on tumor growth were also examined in representative cell lines (U251 and U87) by downregulating GOLPH3 with RNA interference. For this cohort, the median overall survival (OS) was 12 months [95 % confidence interval (CI): 10.31-13.69 months], and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10 months (95 % CI: 7.33-12.67 months). Tissue microarray analysis revealed high GOLPH3 expression in 40 patients (40/97, 41.2 %) and low GOLPH3 expression in the remaining 57 patients (57/97, 58.8 %). Log-rank test showed that patients with low GOLPH3 expression had significantly longer median OS (15 versus 10 months in patients with high GOLPH3 expression, p = 0.009) and median PFS (12 versus 7 months, p = 0.015). Univariate and Cox analysis indicated that GOLPH3 was an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS. In in vitro experiments, GOLPH3 downregulation by small interfering RNA (siRNA) suppressed proliferation and clonogenic growth in cultured cell lines. These findings demonstrate that high GOLPH3 expression is associated with poor outcome of GBM patients.
