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

The BTN2/3 subfamilies are overexpressed in many cancers, including pan-glioma (low- and high-grade gliomas). However, the expression and prognosis of BTN2/3 subfamilies and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in pan-glioma remain unknown. In the present study, we systematically explored and validated the expression and prognostic value of BTN2/3 subfamily members in pan-glioma [The Cancer Genome Atlas-glioblastoma and low-grade glioma (TCGA-GBMLGG) merge cohort] using multiple public databases. We used clinical specimens for high-throughput verification and cell lines for qRT-PCR verification, which confirmed the expression profiles of BTN2/3 subfamilies. In addition, the function of the BTN2/3 subfamily members and the correlations between BTN2/3 subfamily expression and pan-glioma immune infiltration levels were investigated. We found that BTN2/3 subfamily members were rarely mutated. BTN2/3 subfamilies were overexpressed in pan-glioma; high expression of BTN2/3 subfamily members was correlated with poor prognosis. In addition, BTN2/3 subfamilies might positively regulate proliferation, and the overexpression of BTN2/3 subfamilies influenced cell cycle, differentiation, and glioma stemness. In terms of immune infiltrating levels, BTN2/3 subfamily expression was positively associated with CD4+ T-cell, B-cell, neutrophil, macrophage, and dendritic cell infiltrating levels. These findings suggest that BTN2/3 subfamily expression is correlated with prognosis and immune infiltration levels in glioma. Therefore, the BTN2/3 subfamilies can be used as biomarkers for pan-glioma and prognostic biomarkers for determining the prognosis and immune infiltration levels in pan-glioma.
