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

Immunoreactions regulated by TAMs (Tumor-associated macrophages) play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. In recent decades, treatments based on immune regulation have achieved revolutionary breakthroughs in cancer targeted therapies. The phenotypes of TAMs in gliomas are more heterogeneous and inherently complex than can be simply defined by classification into the M1 and M2 polarized states. The detailed mechanisms surrounding infiltrating macrophage phenotype and glioma characteristics remain undefined. SAMD9 (Sterile Alpha Motif Domain-Containing Protein 9) was found to be highly expressed in glioma and closely related to histological and genetic features in CGGA and TCGA databases. Simultaneously, we present evidence to show that there was a positive association between SAMD9 and malignancy characters in LGG. Univariable and Multivariate proportional hazard Cox analysis showed that SAMD9 was an independent prognostic factor for LGG. Surprisingly, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed SAMD9 expression level was remarkably well correlated with immunological responses and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis supported the connection with immune responses and tumorigenesis. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that high SAMD9 expression resulted in an accumulation of macrophages by CIBERSORT and TIMER databases, especially positively related to macrophage total marker gene AIF1 and Macrophage M2 marker gene CD163. IHC staining further indicated a high correlation of SAMD9 with those specific macrophage markers in the immune response. Human THP-1 cells were induced into M2 macrophages, which were then co-cultured with LN229 cells. Silencing of SAMD9 by shRNA in LN229 cells attenuated the infiltration abilities of M2 macrophage. SAMD9 explored immune response via relating of M2 macrophage
