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

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP4) plays a key role in tumor development; however, its role in glioma pathogenesis has not been determined. Here, we aimed to investigate the expression pattern of DPP4 and explore the association between expression and patient prognosis in glioma. DPP4 levels were investigated using qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and western blot in a rat model of glioma and also in patient samples. The relationship between DPP4 levels, WHO pathological grade gliomas, and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) status was assessed in patient samples. Our data indicated that DPP4 levels were markedly increased in a rat model of glioma (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) and aslo in patient samples. Furthermore, the elevation of DPP4 levels in the samples obtained from pateints was associated with the pathogical grade of glioma and the IDH1/2 status (p < 0.01, p < 0.001). High DPP4 levels decreased the survival probability of patients with low-grade glioma (LGG). The data from patient samples showed that DPP4 expression increased with the pathological grade. Increased expression of DPP4 could be a promising index for determining the prognosis of glioma.
