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

backgroundLower-grade glioma (LGG) is one of the prevalent malignancies threatening human health, with considerable intrinsic heterogeneities in their biological behavior. Previous studies have revealed that the immune component is a key factor influencing the formation and development of malignancies. In this study, we aim to use a novel approach to develop a prognostic signature of immune-related gene pairs (IRGPs) to determine the survival outcome of patients with LGG.

methodsTranscriptomic profiles and clinical data for LGG were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases, and used as training and validation data sets, respectively. IRGPs influencing the overall survival (OS) of patients with LGG in the training data set were screened by performing univariate Cox regression analysis. Next, a prognostic IRGPs signature was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Finally, we cross-validated the two databases to verify the stability of the prognostic signature.

resultsA total of 33 IRGPs influencing prognosis of LGG in the training data set were included in the prognostic signature. Patients with high risk scores (RSs) in the training and validation data sets had a poorer OS than those with low RSs. Moreover, significant differences were observed in tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) between high- and low-RS groups. Functional enrichment analyses results revealed that genes in the high-RS group were enriched in the immune-related activities and developmental processes.

conclusionThe prognostic signature containing 33 IRGPs has a significant correlation with OS and relative levels of immune cells associated with LGG. The results of the present study provide new insights into the prediction of survival outcome and therapeutic response of LGG.
