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

Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, that plays a significant role in the occurrence and progression of tumors, has been frequently investigated recently. However, the prognostic significance and therapeutic value of pyroptosis in glioma remain undetermined. In this research, we revealed the relationship of pyroptosis-related genes to glioma by analyzing whole transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset serving as the training set and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) dataset serving as the validation set. We identified two subgroups of glioma patients with disparate prognostic and clinical features by performing consensus clustering analysis on nineteen pyroptosis-related genes that were differentially expressed between glioma and normal brain tissues. We further derived a risk signature, using eleven pyroptosis-related genes, that was demonstrated to be an independent prognostic factor for glioma. Furthermore, we used Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) to implement functional analysis of our gene set, and the results were closely related to immune and inflammatory responses in accordance with the characteristics of pyroptosis. Moreover, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) results showed that that the high-risk group exhibited enriched characteristics of malignant tumors in accordance with its poor prognosis. Next, we analyzed different immune cell infiltration between the two risk groups using ssGSEA. Finally, CASP1 was identified as a core gene, so we subsequently selected an inhibitor targeting CASP1 and simulated molecular docking. In addition, the inhibitory effect of belnacasan on glioma was verified at the cellular level. In conclusion, pyroptosis-related genes are of great significance for performing prognostic stratification and developing treatment strategies for glioma.
