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, the most common histological subtype of primary spinal cord tumors, is considered as a rare central nervous system neoplasm. In this study, 9 glioma samples (4 of grade II and 5 of grade IV with H3K27M positive) were analyzed to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the malignant progression of gliomas, transcriptome sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in grade IV vs. grade II were analyzed by using the Limma package in R. Enrichment analysis was performed for the individual DEGs through VennPlex software and the Database for Annotation. Gene mutations and fusions were analyzed using the Genome Analysis Toolkit and STAR-Fusion. A total of 416 DEGs were identified in grade IV vs. grade II. Functional analysis of the DEGs showed that GALR1 and GRM5 of neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions signaling pathways may be relaed to malignant progression of gliomas. Further systematic transcriptional profiling identified 11 in-frame/frameshift gene fusions in the tumors. Notably, one novel gene fusions, GATSL2-GTF2I was detected in all of the grade II samples. In summary, the molecular alterations observed in glioma progression may improve the characterization of different human spinal cord glioma grades. The transcriptome analysis of intramedullary spinal cord glioma will provide a new candidate gene list for further mechanism research.
