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

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and deadly primary brain tumor in adults. Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges have been raised because of poor prognosis. Gene expression profiles of GBM and normal brain tissue samples from GSE68848, GSE16011, GSE7696, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were downloaded. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by differential expression analysis and obtained 3,800 intersected DEGs from all datasets. Enrichment analysis revealed that the intersected DEGs were involved in the MAPK and cAMP signaling pathways. We identified seven different modules and 2,856 module genes based on the co-expression analysis. Module genes were used to perform Cox and Kaplan-Meier analysis in TCGA to obtain 91 prognosis-related genes. Subsequently, we constructed a random survival forest model and a multivariate Cox model to identify seven hub genes (KDELR2, DLEU1, PTPRN, SRBD1, CRNDE, HPCAL1, and POLR1E). The seven hub genes were subjected to the risk score and survival analyses. Among these, CRNDE may be a key gene in GBM. A network of prognosis-related genes and the top three differentially expressed microRNAs with the largest fold-change was constructed. Moreover, we found a high infiltration of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and T helper 17 cells in GBM. In conclusion, the seven hub genes were speculated to be potential prognostic biomarkers for guiding immunotherapy and may have significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of GBM.
