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

backgroundGlioma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults, with its tumor-promoting immune microenvironment always being intricate to handle with. Amounts of evidence has accumulated to suggest that alternative splicing (AS) is related to tumor immune microenvironment. However, comprehensive analysis of immune-related AS events and their clinical significance are still lacking in glioma.

methodsAS events and transcriptome data of 653 glioma patients were downloaded online. ssGSEA was performed on transcriptome data of 653 patients to divided them into low, medium and high immune cell infiltration groups. Immune-related AS events were filtrated based on this grouping. Then lasso Cox regression analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were done to achieve an immune-related AS events prognostic signature for glioma. Kaplan-Meier analysis, ROC analyses, univariate Cox regression and multivariate Cox regression were performed to reveal the independent prognostic role of this signature. Meanwhile, a nomogram was constructed to achieved better prognostic value for glioma patients. Besides, functional enrichment analyses and correlation analyses with immune cells infiltration were used to validated the immune-related characteristic of this signature.

results36 immune-related AS events were achieved based on the grouping mentioned above. A nine-immune-related alternative splicing event signature was built for glioma patients. This signature showed an independent prognostic value and a nomogram containing gender, age, Karnofsky performance score, grade, IDH status, MGMT promoter status and risk score derived from the signature was constructed with a higher predictive ability for overall survival. Association with the infiltration of immune cell subtypes was validated and functional enrichment analysis found that the signature was mainly enriched in immune-related and pro-tumor functions.

conclusionOur research presented all immune-related AS events in glioma, identified an immune-related prognostic AS events risk model and a nomogram was constructed to predict the prognosis individually and more precisely. Tight connection was verified between this signature and clinical characteristics. Also, immune cells infiltration and immune checkpoints expression level were proved to link to risk scores, which enhanced the understanding of relationship between AS events and glioma immune microenvironment, firstly revealing the potential role of AS in immunotherapy of glioma.
