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.

Abstract

Glioblastoma (GBM) generates a varied immune response and understanding the immune microenvironment may lead to novel immunotherapy treatments modalities. The goal of this study was to evaluate the expression of immunologic markers of potential clinical significance in primary versus recurrent GBM and assess the relationship between these markers and molecular characteristics of GBM. Human GBM samples were evaluated and analyzed with immunohistochemistry for multiple immunobiologic markers (CD3, CD8, FoxP3, CD68, CD163, PD1, PDL1, CTLA4, CD70). Immunoreactivity was analyzed using Aperio software. Degree of strong positive immunoreactivity within the tumor was compared to patient and tumor characteristics including age, gender, MGMT promoter methylation status, and ATRX, p53, and IDH1 mutation status. Additionally, the TCGA database was used to perform similar analysis of these factors in GBM using RNA-seq by expectation-maximization. Using odds ratios, IDH1 mutated GBM had statistically significant decreased expression of CD163 and CD70 and a trend for decreased PD1, CTLA4, and Foxp3. ATRX-mutated GBMs exhibited statistically significant increased CD3 immunoreactivity, while those with p53 mutations were found to have significantly increased CTLA4 immunoreactivity. The odds of having strong CD8 and CD68 reactivity was significantly less in MGMT methylated tumors. No significant difference was identified in any immune marker between the primary and recurrent GBM, nor was a significant change in immunoreactivity identified among age intervals. TCGA analysis corroborated findings related to the differential immune profile of IDH1 mutant, p53 mutant, and MGMT unmethylated tumors. Immunobiologic markers have greater association with the molecular characteristics of the tumor than with primary/recurrent status or age.
