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

DNA methylation is an important regulator of gene expression, and plays a significant role in carcinogenesis in the brain. Here, we explored specific prognosis-subtypes based on DNA methylation status using 138 Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The methylation profiles of 11,637 CpG sites that significantly correlated with survival in the training set were employed for consensus clustering. We identified three GBM molecular subtypes, and their survival curves were distinct from each other. Furthermore, ten feature CpG sites were obtained on conducting a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the CpG sites. We were able to classify the samples into high- and low-methylation groups, and classified the prognosis information of the samples after cluster analysis of the training set samples using the hierarchical clustering algorithm. Similar results were obtained in the test set and clinical GBM specimens. Finally, we found that a positive relationship existed between methylation level and sensitivity to temozolomide (or radiotherapy) or anti-migration ability of GBM cells. Taken together, these results suggest that the model constructed in this study could help explain the heterogeneity of previous molecular subgroups in GBM and can provide guidance to clinicians regarding the prognosis of GBM.
