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

Tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and dynamic evolving environment which facilitates tumor proliferation and progression. We aimed at investigating the characteristics of tumor microenvironment and its prognostic value in gliomas. Transcriptome data of 702 glioma samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas were included as training dataset, while 325 samples from Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database and 268 samples from GSE16011 database were used to validate. We found that the infiltration of stromal and immune cell varied in gliomas of different grades and pathological types, and was associated with poor prognosis. Based on the gene expression profile, we constructed a TME-related signature (TMERS), which was closely related to clinical features and genomic variation of gliomas. In TMERS-high group, specific gene mutations and increased copy number alternations were observed. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analysis showed that TMERS was an independent prognostic indicator. Then we developed a nomogram prognostic model to predict 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival of patients. Functional analysis confirmed that TMERS could reflect the status of glioma microenvironment, and immunological analysis showed that macrophages were significantly enriched in the TMERS-high group. We established a novel TME-related signature for predicting prognosis and provided new insights into immunotherapy.
