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

Malignant glioma is the most frequent primary tumor of the central nervous system. PDCL3 is a member of the phosducin-like protein family, and its imbalance has been shown to be associated with several human diseases. However, the underlying role of PDCL3 in human malignant cancers, especially in malignant gliomas, is unclear. In this study, we combined public database analysis and experimental verification to explore the differential expression, prognostic value and potential functions and mechanisms of PDCL3. The results revealed that PDCL3 is upregulated in multiple cancers and acts as a potential prognostic biomarker of glioma. Mechanistically, PDCL3 expression is associated with epigenetic modifications and genetic mutations. PDCL3 may directly interact with the chaperonin-containing TCP1 complex, regulating cell malignancy, cell communication and the extracellular matrix. More importantly, the association of PDCL3 with the infiltration of immune cells, immunomodulatory genes, immune checkpoints, cancer stemness and angiogenesis suggested that PDCL3 may regulate the glioma immune landscape. Furthermore, PDCL3 interference also decreased the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells. In conclusion, PDCL3 is a novel oncogene and can be adopted as a biomarker with value in assisting clinical diagnosis, predicting patient outcomes and assessing the immune landscape of the tumor microenvironment in glioma.
