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

aimsThe dysregulation and essential role of WNTs in glioma have been widely implicated. However, there is a paucity of literature on the expression status of all the 19 WNTs in glioma. Our study was aimed to evaluate the expression and prognostic values of the 19 WNTs in glioma.

methodsmRNA expression and clinical data were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), GTEx and ONCOMINE databases. The 50 frequent neighbor genes of WNT5A and WNT10B were shown with PPI network, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses.

resultsWe found that the mRNA expression of WNT5A was significantly higher in glioma; however, the WNT10B expression was significantly lower in glioma. Furthermore, the expression of WNT5A and WNT10B was associated with the clinicopathology of glioma. The survival analysis revealed that the higher expressions of WNT5A and WNT16 were associated poor overall survival (OS) in patients with glioma. Conversely, overexpression of WNT3, WNT5B, and WNT10B was associated with better OS. Finally, Go and KEGG analysis revealed WNT5A was associated with multiple signal translations, and crucial oncogenes (EGFR and MDM2) and 2 important tumor suppressors (PTEN and IKN4a/ARF) were found closely correlated with WNT5A in glioma.

conclusionAmong 19WNTs, WNT5A can serve as a candidate to diagnose and therapy glioma, while WNT10B might be valuable for anti-glioma research. The presumed direction was provided to explore the relation of WNTs signal and multiple pathways in glioma.
