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

objectiveAngiogenin is a small protein that exerts potent stimulating effects on angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to examine the expression of angiogenin in different subtypes of glioblastoma and estimated its independent prognostic value.

methodsThe genomic and survival data from The Cancer Genome Atlas-glioblastoma were extracted for a secondary study. Results The expression of angiogenin was upregulated in glioblastoma tissues and varied significantly in different subtypes. Although the proneural subtype had the lowest angiogenin expression, high angiogenin expression was associated with significantly worse overall survival. However, this association was not observed in other subtypes. By performing univariate and multivariate analysis using Cox regression model, we observed that high angiogenin expression was an independent indicator of shorter overall survival in proneural glioblastoma (hazard ratio: 1.669, 95% confidence interval: 1.033-2.696, P = .036), after adjustment of age, gender, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation, temozolomide chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In addition, we also observed a correlation between elevated angiogenin expression and the hypomethylated status of its DNA. The hypermethylation group had significantly better overall survival.

conclusionsAngiogenin upregulation might serve as a biomarker for unfavorable overall survival in the proneural subtype of glioblastoma.
