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

Diffuse glioma is the deadliest form of brain cancer, and the median survival of grade IV glioma (glioblastoma, GBM) is no more than 2 years even with maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are now the standard of care for GBM. Glioma shares common characteristics with most malignant tumours, such as invasiveness, rapid progression, resistance to various therapies and inevitable recurrence, while it also has its own unique features, such as high aggressiveness and immunotherapy resistance, which can be, respectively, attributed to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here, we calculated the EMT score of glioma using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and validated its prognostic value. Then, we investigated its role in the glioma immune microenvironment, identified the enriched EMT-related immune genes and determined their specific biological functions in glioma. Furthermore, clinical relevance analysis showed the translational value of these EMT-related immune genes. In short, our findings reveal a critical link between EMT and the glioma immune microenvironment and offer important clues for further investigation of the underlying molecular mechanism.
