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

backgroundDespite the better prognosis given by surgical resection and chemotherapy in low-grade glioma (LGG), progressive transformation is still a huge concern. In this case, the S100A gene family, being capable of regulating inflammatory responses, can promote tumor development.

methodsThe analysis was carried out via ONCOMINE, GEPIA, cBioPortal, String, GeneMANIA, WebGestalt, LinkedOmics, TIMER, CGGA, R 4.0.2 and immunohistochemistry.

resultsS100A2, S100A6, S100A10, S100A11, and S100A16 were up-regulated and S100A1 and S100A13 were down-regulated in LGG compared to normal tissues. S100A3, S100A4, S100A8, and S100A9 expression was up-regulated during the progression of glioma grade. In addition, genetic variation of the S100A family was high in LGG, and the S100A family genes mostly function through IL-17 signaling pathway, S100 binding protein, and inflammatory responses. The TIMER database also revealed a relationship between gene expression and immune cell infiltration. High expression of S100A2, S100A3, S100A4, S100A6, S100A8, S100A9, S100A10, S100A11, S100A13, and S100A16 was significantly associated with poor prognosis in LGG patients. S100A family genes S100A2, S100A3, S100A6, S100A10, and S100A11 may be prognosis-related genes in LGG, and were significantly associated with IDH mutation and 1p19q codeletion. The immunohistochemical staining results also confirmed that S100A2, S100A3, S100A6, S100A10, and S100A11 expression was upregulated in LGG.

conclusionThe S100A family plays a vital role in LGG pathogenesis, presumably facilitating LGG progression via modulating inflammatory state and immune cell infiltration.
