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

Glioma is the most common type of primary brain tumor, which is associated with a poor prognosis due to its aggressive growth behavior and highly invasive nature. Research regarding glioma pathogenesis is expected to provide novel methods of adjuvant therapy for the treatment of glioma. The use of bioinformatics to identify candidate genes is commonly used to understand the genetic basis of disease. The present study used bioinformatics to mine the disease-related genes using gene expression profiles (GSE50021) and dual-channel DNA methylation data (GSE50022). The results identified 17 methylation sites located on 33 transcription factor binding sites, which may be responsible for downregulation of 17 target genes. glutamate metabotropic receptor 2 was one of the 17 downregulated target genes. Furthermore, inositol-trisphosphate 3-kinase A (ITPKA) was revealed to be the gene most associated with the risk of glioma in children. The protein coded by the ITPKA gene appeared in all risk sub-pathways, thus suggesting that ITPKA was the gene most associated with the risk of glioma, and inositol phosphate metabolism may be a key pathway associated with glioma in children. The identification of specific genes helps to determine the pathogenesis and possible therapeutic targets for the treatment of glioma in children.
