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

backgroundSolute carrier (SLC) 22 A1, A2, and A3 are polyspecific transporters transporting organic cations like histamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, MPP + , and toxins. The expression of SLC22A1-A3 in cancer is seldom investigated, and the function of SLC22A1-A3 in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is never elucidated. MATERIALS: In our study, we detected the expression of SLC22A1-A3 in 11 fresh GBMs and tumor-adjacent brain tissues with qPCR, and in 129 paraffin-embedded GBMs with immunohistochemistry (IHC). With chi-square test, we investigated the correlation between expression of SLC22A1-A3 and the clinicopathological factors including patients' age, sex, tumor size, and KPS score. With Kaplan-Meier method and Cox-regression model, we estimated the prognostic significance of SLC22A1-A3 in GBM.

resultsSLC22A3 was significantly downregulated in GBMs compared with the tumor-adjacent normal tissues. With univariate survival analyses, we showed that SLC22A3, instead of SLC22A1 and A2, was an independent biomarker predicting favorable prognosis. With multivariate analyses, SLC22A3 was identified as an independent prognostic biomarker indicating the favorable outcome of GBM.

conclusionsSLC22A3 is an independent favorable prognostic biomarker of GBM. Patients with low SLC22A3 may be more high-risk and should receive more intensive post-operational supervision and treatments.
