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

backgroundGlioma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system with a high lethality rate. This study aims to mine fibroblast-related genes with prognostic value and construct a corresponding prognostic model.

methodsA glioma-related TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) cohort and a CGGA (Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas) cohort were incorporated into this study. Variance expression profiling was executed via the "limma" R package. The "clusterProfiler" R package was applied to perform a GO (Gene Ontology) analysis. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve, LASSO regression analysis, and Cox analyses were implemented to determine the prognostic genes. A fibroblast-related risk model was created and affirmed by independent cohorts. We derived enriched pathways between the fibroblast-related high- and low-risk subgroups using gene set variation analysis (GSEA). The immune infiltration cell and the stromal cell were calculated using the microenvironment cell populations-counter (MCP-counter) method, and the immunotherapy response was assessed with the SubMap algorithm. The chemotherapy sensitivity was estimated using the "pRRophetic" R package.

resultsA total of 93 differentially expressed fibroblast-related genes (DEFRGs) were uncovered in glioma. Seven prognostic genes were filtered out to create a fibroblast-related gene signature in the TCGA-glioma cohort training set. We then affirmed the fibroblast-related risk model via TCGA-glioma cohort and CGGA-glioma cohort testing sets. The Cox regression analysis proved that the fibroblast-related risk score was an independent prognostic predictor in prediction of the overall survival of glioma patients. The fibroblast-related gene signature revealed by the GSEA was applicable to the immune-relevant pathways. The MCP-counter algorithm results pointed to significant distinctions in the tumor microenvironment between fibroblast-related high- and low-risk subgroups. The SubMap analysis proved that the fibroblast-related risk score could predict the clinical sensitivity of immunotherapy. The chemotherapy sensitivity analysis indicated that low-risk patients were more sensitive to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs.

conclusionOur study identified prognostic fibroblast-related genes and generated a novel risk signature that could evaluate the prognosis of glioma and offer a theoretical basis for clinical glioma therapy.
