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

purposeGlioma is the most common primary tumor in the brain, accounting for 81% of intracranial malignancies. Nowadays, cancer immunotherapy has become a novel and revolutionary treatment for patients with advanced, highly aggressive tumors. However, to date, there are no effective biomarkers to reflect the response of glioma patients to immunotherapy. In this study, we aimed to assess the clinical predictive value of ITGB2 in patients with glioma.

methodsThe correlation between ITGB2 expression levels and glioma progression was explored and validated using data from CGGA, TCGA, GEO datasets, and patient samples from our hospital. Univariate and multivariate cox regression models were developed to determine the predictive role of ITGB2 on the prognosis of patients with glioma. The relationship between ITGB2 and immune activation was then analyzed. Finally, we predicted the immunotherapy response in both high and low ITGB2 expression subgroups.

resultsITGB2 was significantly elevated in gliomas with higher malignancy and predicted poor prognosis. In multivariate analysis, the hazard ratio for ITGB2 expression (low versus high) was 0.71 with 95% CI (0.59-0.85) (P < 0.001). Furthermore, we found that ITGB2 stratified glioma patients into high and low ITGB2 expression subgroups, exhibiting different clinical outcomes and immune activation status. At last, we demonstrated that glioma patients with high ITGB2 expression levels had better immunotherapy response.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated ITGB2 as a novel predictor for clinical prognosis and response to immunotherapy in gliomas. Assessing expression levels of ITGB2 is a promising method to discover patients that may benefit from immunotherapy.
