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

Due to its high proliferation capacity and rapid intracranial spread, glioblastoma (GBM) has become one of the least curable malignant cancers. Recently, the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) hypothesis has become a focus in the researches of molecular biological mechanisms of cancer occurrence and progression. However, there is a lack of correlation studies on GBM, as well as a lack of comprehensive analyses of GBM molecular mechanisms based on high-throughput sequencing and large-scale sample sizes. We obtained RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Further, differentially expressed mRNAs were identified from normal brain tissue and GBM tissue. The similarities between the mRNA modules with clinical traits were subjected to weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). With the mRNAs from clinical-related modules, a survival model was constructed by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Thereafter, we carried out Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Finally, we predicted interactions between lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs by TargetScan, miRDB, miRTarBase and starBase. We identified 2 lncRNAs (NORAD, XIST), 5 miRNAs (hsa-miR-3613, hsa-miR-371, hsa-miR-373, hsa-miR-32, hsa-miR-92) and 2 mRNAs (LYZ, PIK3AP1) for the construction of a ceRNA network, which might act as a prognostic biomarker of GBM. Combined with previous studies and our enrichment analysis results, we hypothesized that this ceRNA network affects immune activities and tumour microenvironment variations. Our research provides novel aspects to study GBM development and treatment.
