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

objectiveTo screen and validate cancer testis antigens (CTAs) as potential biomarkers and explore their molecular mechanisms in glioblastoma (GBM).

methodsRibonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) and bioinformatics analyses were utilized to screen the highly expressed CTAs in GBM. Correlation analysis was used to identify potential biomarkers associated with tumor purity and prognosis. Immunohistochemistry was applied for detection of protein expression. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, functional enrichment analysis, and binding domain prediction were performed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of GBM.

resultsA total of 8 highly expressed CTAs were identified in GBM. One of them was PDZ-binding kinase (PBK). PBK messenger RNA (mRNA) was most highly expressed in GBM and associated with tumor purity and prognosis, PBK protein expression was also significantly increased in GBM tissues and correlated with p53 expression. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the PBK related genes were predominantly enriched in cell cycle pathway with 38 genes enriched. The proteins encoding by these 38 genes were performed by binding domain prediction analysis, which demonstrated 15 proteins interacting with PBK. Most of these proteins were up regulated in GBM.

conclusionPBK is highly expressed in GBM. It may serve as a potential biomarker for GBM targeting therapy and the cell cycle modulator by interacting with certain key molecules of cell cycle in GBM.
