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

backgroundGlioma is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor in adults. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used in the treatment of glioma, survival remains unsatisfactory. Chemoresistance is one of the primary reasons for the poor prognosis of glioma. Several studies have demonstrated that glioma stem cells (GSC) may be one of the reasons for chemoresistance. In this article, we attempt to search for a new biomarker related to GSC and chemoresistance in glioma.

methodsWe used three datasets (GSE23806, COSMIC, and CGGA) to search for the genes related to GSC, temozolomide (TMZ) resistance, and overall survival. The selected gene was investigated with respect to the relationship between mRNA levels and clinical characteristics in the CGGA and TCGA dataset. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was used for bioinformatics analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were used for survival analysis.

resultsThe transmembrane protein 71 (TMEM71) gene was selected for further research. TMEM71 was highly expressed in GSCs and TMZ-resistant cells. The TMEM71 mRNA levels increased with increasing grades of glioma. In IDH-wild-type and MGMT-unmethylated samples, TMEM71 was overexpressed. The TMEM71 transcript levels were also increased significantly in mesenchymal subtype gliomas. GO analysis demonstrated that TMEM71 was related to the immune and inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, cell migration, chemotaxis, and the response to drugs. Specifically, PD-1, PD-L1, TIM-3, and B7-H3 were tightly associated with TMEM71 expression. This result indicates that TMEM71 may play an important role in the immune response. More importantly, high expression of TMEM71 was correlated with short survival time in both glioma and glioblastoma patients.

conclusionIn summary, TMEM71 expression was increased in GBM and associated with immune response. Our study suggests that TMEM71 may function as an oncogene and serve as a new effective therapeutic target for the treatment of glioma.
