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

backgroundCyclin B2 (CCNB2) is an important component of the cyclin pathway and plays a key role in the occurrence and development of cancer. However, the correlation between prognosis of low-grade glioma (LGG), CCNB2, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes is not clear.

methodsThe expression of CCNB2 in LGG was queried in Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2) and TIMER databases. The relationships between CCNB2 and the clinicopathological features of LGG were analyzed using the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database. The relationship between CCNB2 expression and overall survival (OS) was evaluated by GEPIA2. The correlation between CCNB2 and LGG immune infiltration was analyzed by the TIMER database. Finally, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect CCNB2 expression.

resultsThe expression of CCNB2 differed across different tumor tissues, but was higher in LGG than in normal tissues. LGG patients with high expression of CCNB2 have poorer prognosis. The expression of CCNB2 was correlated with age, WHO grade, IDH mutational status, 1p/19q codeletion status, and other clinicopathological features. The expression of CCNB2 in LGG was positively correlated with the infiltration level of B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. qRT-PCR results revealed that the expression of CCNB2 in LGG tissues was higher than normal tissues and higher expression of CCNB2 was associated with worse prognosis.

conclusionCCNB2 may be used as a potential biomarker to determine the prognosis of LGG and is also related to immune infiltration.
