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

In recent years, major discoveries have indicated that Ras homology family member C (RHOC) is involved in the occurrence and pathological progression of a number of malignant tumours; nevertheless, the role served by RHOC in glioma remains unclear. The present study aimed to gain further insight into the biological function and expression of RHOC in human glioma based on the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). The current study analysed ~1,000 glioma samples from the CGGA. First, RHOC expression was analysed according to the clinical features associated with the prognosis of glioma, such as clinical stage, histological type and age. Second, the Kaplan-Meier method was used, revealing that the survival rate of patients with glioma with high RHOC expression was significantly lower than that of patients with low RHOC expression. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that RHOC had moderate diagnostic value for patients with glioma. Gene set enrichment analysis indirectly indicated that RHOC mainly participated in the pathological mechanism of glioma through p53, extracellular matrix receptor interaction and focal adhesion. Finally, the aforementioned results were further verified using The Cancer Genome Atlas data and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR technology. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first comprehensive in-depth analysis of RHOC, revealing the potential value of RHOC as a novel oncogene in glioma. The current study provided a novel potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of glioma, and re-examined the pathological mechanism of glioma from a new perspective.
