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

This study investigated the expression pattern of retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4) gene in glioma and explored its associations with clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients. Data retrieved from the GEPIA, CGGA, HPA and TIMER databases were processed to analyze RBBP4 expression in glioma and investigate its relationship with clinicopathologic characteristics, tumor immune infiltration and prognosis in glioma patients. Immunohistochemistry was applied to determine the expression of RBBP4 protein in glioma tissue. Additionally, the Coexpedia database was visited to identify co-expressed genes for RBBP4 gene, while the Cytoscape software was run to visualize the enriched GO entries and KEGG pathways of these co-expressed genes. The expression levels of RBBP4 in lower-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma (GBM) tissues were markedly elevated when compared to normal tissues (both p < 0.05). The up-regulation of RBBP4 expression was associated with an increase in WHO grade (II-IV), wild-type IDH, and 1p/19q non-codeletion (all p < 0.05). Multi-variate Cox regression analysis showed that both increased abundance of infiltrating macrophages and up-regulated RBBP4 expression independently predicted poor survival outcomes in LGG patients (both p < 0.05). Furthermore, RBBP4 expression exhibited significant positive correlations with the abundance of infiltrating B cell, CD8
