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

backgroundEpigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes plays important role in gliomagenesis. Recently, GATA4 and DcR1 were suggested to be a tumor suppressor genes involved in tumorigenesis in various types of human cancers. However, up to now the methylation frequency of GATA4 and DcR1 genes has not been determined in glioblastoma. In this study, we investigated methylation of GATA4 and DcR1 promoters and their association with patient prognosis in glioblastoma.

methodsMethylation status of GATA4 and DcR1 promoters was investigated by methylation specific PCR in 99 glioblastoma patients. Statistical analyses were conducted to investigate the association between clinical variables and overall survival time.

resultsGATA4 and DcR1 were aberrantly methylated in 23.2% and 27.6% of glioblastoma tumors, but not in normal brain. GATA4 promoter hypermethylation showed significant association with patients age (p = 0.027). Relationship between genes promoter methylation and glioblastoma patient survival was not determined.

conclusionsThe present work demonstrated that GATA4 and DcR1 promoter hypermethylation is tumor specific event in glioblastoma but they promoter methylation cannot be considered as a prognostic marker of glioblastoma survival.
