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 originates from the glial cells of the spine or brain, and promoter methylation of O6‑methylguanine‑DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) can promote the chemosensitivity of glioma. The present study aimed to reveal the key genes implicated in MGMT promoter methylation in patients with glioma. RNA‑sequencing data and methylation data for glioma were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Following expression characteristic analysis and differential expression analysis using unsupervised hierarchical clustering and a rank sum test, the feature genes were identified between high and low methylation groups. Furthermore, multivariate survival analysis for the feature genes was performed using the survival package in R. Additionally, the independent glioma RNA expression datasets GSE7696 and GSE42669 were used to validate the prognostic efficiency of the gene combination. The results indicated that the prognosis of the low methylation group was significantly worse than that of the high methylation group. The ten genes corresponding to the cut‑off value of 0.56 (Rho GTPase‑activating protein 21, CECR2, histone acetyl‑lysine reader, endosulfine α, G‑patch domain‑containing 8, KIAA1109, MGMT, protocadherin β 13, selenoprotein M, sperm‑associated antigen 9 and WD repeat domain 6) were able to significantly predict prognosis and were differentially expressed between the two groups. Multivariate survival analysis suggested that the ten genes were effective for sample classification and prognostic prediction. Furthermore, the validation datasets confirmed the correlation of the ten genes with prognosis. In conclusion, these 10 genes may be mediated by MGMT promoter methylation in glioma. In addition, the ten‑gene combination may be associated with the prognosis of patients with glioma.
