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

backgroundThyroid hormone (TH) metabolism can have prognostic significance in brain tumors. We studied the association of common variations in three deiodinase gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with circulating TH concentrations and prognosis of brain tumor patients.

methodsPatients admitted for glioma and meningioma surgery between January, 2010 and September, 2011 were evaluated for functional status (Barthel Index or BI) and circulating free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations. Ten common SNPs in the DIO1 gene; five SNPs in the DIO2 gene; and one SNP in the DIO3 gene were genotyped. Follow-up continued until November, 2017.

resultsIn glioblastoma patients, the DIO1 SNP rs2235544 CC genotype was associated with significantly lower risk of death at 2 years when compared to AA + CA genotypes after adjusting for patient gender, age, pre-operative functional status, adjuvant therapy, and extent of resection (HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.13-0.84, p = 0.019). The TT genotype vs. CC + TC genotypes of the DI02 SNP rs12885300 was associated with increased mortality risk after adjusting for patient gender, age, pre-operative functional status, adjuvant therapy, extent of resection, and FT3/FT4 (HR = 3.13, 95% CI: 1.20-8.16, p < 0.019). The C-allele of the DI01 SNP rs2235544 was related to increased circulating free T3/ free T4 ratio in glioma and meningioma patients, indicating greater T4 to T3 conversion.

conclusionsSNPs of DIO1 gene (rs2235544) and DIO2 gene (rs12885300) have independent prognostic significance in glioblastoma patients. The C-allele of the DIO1 (rs2235544) is associated with greater T4 to T3 conversion.
