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

Angiogenesis is more prominent in anaplastic gliomas and glioblastoma (GBM) than that in pilocytic and diffuse gliomas. Caldesmon (CALD1) plays roles in cell adhesion, cytoskeletal organization, and vascularization. However, limited information is available on mechanisms underlying the effect of CALD1 on the microvascular facilitation and architecture in glioma. In this study, we explored the role of CALD1 in gliomas by integrating bulk RNA-seq analysis and single cell RNA-seq analysis. A positive correlation between CALD1 expression and the gliomas' pathological grade was noticed, according to the samples from the TCGA and CGGA database. Moreover, higher CALD1 expression samples showed worse clinical outcomes than lower CALD1 expression samples. Biofunction prediction suggested that CALD1 may affect glioma progression through modulating tumor angiogenesis. The map of the tumor microenvironment also depicted that more stromal cells, such as endothelial cells and pericytes, infiltrated in high CALD1 expression samples. CALD1 was found to be remarkably upregulated in neoplastic cells and was involved in tumorigenic processes of gliomas in single cell sequencing analysis. Histology and immunofluorescence analysis also indicated that CALD1 associates with vessel architecture, resulting in glioma grade progression. In conclusion, the present study implies that CALD1 may serve as putative marker monitoring the progress of glioma.
