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

Diffuse glioma is the most prevalent and malignant brain tumor. The function and significance of CD37 in diffuse gliomas remain largely unknown. Here, we showed CD37 was abnormally expressed in diverse cancers, especially glioma by pan-cancer differential expression analysis. In addition, we found CD37 was upregulated in higher grade and IDH or IDH1-wildtype gliomas, which was further validated by qPCR and IHC. Survival analysis revealed CD37 served as an independent indicator for unfavorable prognosis of patients with diffuse gliomas. Functional enrichment analysis revealed CD37 was associated with immunological processes. Moreover, immune infiltration analyses suggested gliomas with high-expression CD37 had greater infiltration of M2 macrophages and neutrophils, and lower NK cell abundance. CD37 was closely correlated to immune checkpoint molecules, including CD276, CD80, CD86, and PD-L2. Our results indicated CD37 is an independent prognostic factor and plays an immunosuppressive role in diffuse gliomas. Targeting CD37 could be a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for diffuse gliomas.
