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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary intracranial malignancy in adults. Owing to individual tolerance and tumor heterogeneity, the therapy methods for young adults do not apply to older adults. The present study aimed to identify specific biomarkers for GBM in older adults using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Gene expression profiles of older adults with GBM were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and set as a discovery cohort to construct WGCNA. Core genes of clinically significant modules were used to perform functional enrichment, protein-protein interaction, and Pearson correlation analyses. Gene expression profiles of young in TCGA and older GBM patients from our research group were set as verification cohorts for hub gene expression and diagnostic value. Four significant gene modules associated clinically with older adults with GBM were identified, whereas 251 genes were core genes with module membership>0.8 and gene significance>0.2. Ermin (
