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

Background: Macrophages, the major immune cells in glioma microenvironment, are closely related to tumor prognosis. Further studies are needed to investigate macrophages, which will be helpful to fully understand the role of it and early achieve clinical translation. Methods: A total of 1334 glioma cases were enrolled in this study from 3 databases. In our works, the single cell cohorts from GSE89567, GSE84465, and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) datasets were used to analyze the key genes of macrophage. The bulk sequencing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and CGGA datasets were respectively divided into the training set and validation set to test prognostic value of the key genes from single cell analysis. Results: Quantitative and functional differences significantly emerge in macrophage clusters between LGG and GBM. Firstly, we used the Seurat R package to identify 281 genes differentially expressed genes in macrophage clusters between LGG and GBM. Furthermore, based on these genes, we developed a predictive risk model to predict prognosis and reflect the immune microenvironment in glioma. The risk score calculation formula was yielded as follows: Risk score = (0.11 × EXP Conclusion: This study further confirms that the proportion of macrophage infiltration is not only significantly different, but the function of them is also different. The signature, identified from the differentially expressed macrophage-related genes impacts poor prognosis and short overall survival and may act as therapeutic targets in the future.
