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

backgroundPLEKHG5, a Rho-specific guanine-nucleotide exchange factor, is involved in tumor cell migration, invasion and angiogenic potential. In this study, the expression pattern, prognostic value and function of PLEKHG5 in gliomas were investigated.

methodsImmunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression pattern of PLEKHG5 in 61 glioma patients after curative resection. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of PLEKHG5. Gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used to predict potential functions of PLEKHG5. Migration assay and western blot analysis determined PLEKHG5 function in glioma migration and invasion.

resultsIncreased PLEKHG5 expression levels were associated with higher glioma grades (P < 0.05). In addition, glioblastomas multiforme have higher ratio and stronger intensity of PLEKHG5 expression compared with low-grade gliomas. High expression level of PLEKHG5 indicated poorer prognosis and shorter survival time in all glioma patients (P < 0.001). GO analysis, KEGG pathway analysis and GSEA analysis suggested that PLEKHG5 was involved in glioma migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Migration assay and western blot analysis revealed PLEKHG5 promoted glioma migration and invasion.

conclusionOur results demonstrated PLEKHG5 could be used as a novel prognostic biomarker and anti-tumor target for glioma patients.
