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

backgroundBone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST2) is considered as a transmembrane glycoprotein and plays essential roles in innate immunity. It has been recently reported that up-regulation of BST2 was associated with the development of breast carcinoma. However, the clinical significance of BST2 in glioma has not been identified. The purpose of the present study is to explore the expression pattern and the role of BST2 in the progression of high-grade glioma.

methodsExpression levels of BST2 were tested in glioma tissues by analyzing the GEO database and immunohistochemistry staining. The prognostic role of BST2 in glioma was evaluated through univariate and multivariate analyses. In vitro and in vivo assays were conducted to confirm the role of BST2 on promoting glioma proliferation.

resultsThe mRNA level of BST2 was higher in glioma tissues than that in nontumorous brain tissues. High protein level of BST2 was correlated with larger tumor size and advanced WHO grade. Glioma patients with a high BST2 level had worse overall survival. In addition, BST2 was defined as an independent risk factor for glioma prognosis. Cellular and xenograft studies revealed that BST2 can significantly promote glioma proliferation.

conclusionOur study revealed that a high BST2 expression level was closely related to the unfavorable clinical features and poor prognosis of high-grade glioma patients. BST2 may serve as an invaluable prognostic indicator and novel therapeutic target for glioma treatment considering its membrane localization.
