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

Lower-grade glioma (LGG) is a crucial pathological type of glioma. Prokineticins have not been reported in LGG. Prokineticins as a member of the multifunctional chemokine-like peptide family are divided into two ligands: PROK1 and PROK2. We evaluated the role of PROK1 and PROK2 in LGG using TCGA database. We downloaded the datasets of LGG from TCGA and evaluated the influence of prokineticins on LGG survival by survival module. Correlations between clinical information and prokineticins expression were analyzed using logistic regression. Univariable survival and multivariate Cox analysis was used to compare several clinical characteristics with survival. Correlation between prokineticins and cancer immune infiltrates was explored using CIBERSORT and correlation module of GEPIA. We analyzed genes of PROK1 and PROK2 affecting LGG, screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs), interacted protein-protein with DEGs through the STRING website, then imported the results into the Cytospace software, and calculated the hub genes. To analyze whether hub genes and prokineticins are related, the relationship between PROK1 and PROK2 and hub genes was assessed and shown by heat map. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed using the TCGA dataset. The univariate analysis using logistic regression and PROK1 and PROK2 showed opposite expression differences between tumor and normal tissues (
