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

objectivesTo identify the molecular subtypes of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) related to M2 macrophage-based prognostic genes, then to preliminarily explore their biological functions and construct immunotherapy response gene models. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe used R language to analyze GBM microarray data, and other tools, including xCell and CIBERSORTx, to identify subtypes of GBM that related to M2 macrophages. The process started with the exploration of biological functions of the two subtypes by pathway analyses and GSEA, and continued with a combined procedure of constructing an M2 macrophage-related prognostic gene model and exploring the immune treatment response for GBM.

resultsA high abundance of M2 macrophages in GBM was associated with poor prognosis. According to M2 macrophage-related prognostic genes, GBM was divided into two subtypes (cluster A and cluster B). The differential gene enrichment analysis of the two clusters showed that cluster A was less enriched in M2 macrophages and had immunopotential. The M2score, which was constructed based on M2 macrophage-related prognostic genes, was not only related to the survival and prognosis of patients with GBM, but also predictive of the effectiveness of immunotherapy in these patients. This result has been effectively verified in an external data set.

conclusionGBM was successfully divided into two subtypes according to M2-macrophage-related prognostic genes. In GBM, a high M2score may indicate better clinical outcome and enhancement of the immunotherapy response.
