Integrated profiling identifies CACNG3 as a prognostic biomarker for patients with glioma.
Article in BMC cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in adults with poor prognoses. The purpose of this study is to explore CACNG3 as a prognostic factor that is closely related to the progression and survival outcome of gliomas and to provide a potential new molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma patients. CACNG3 expression and related clinical data were collected from three major databases of The Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The CGGA dataset was used as a training set, and TCGA and GEO datasets obtained from the GEO database were used for validation. CACNG3 was expressed at low levels in the tumor group, and the overall survival (OS) in patients with low CACNG3 expression is shorter. Furthermore, CACNG3 expression was negatively associated with glioma grades, which was confirmed in the IHC results of clinical samples. The expression level of CACNG3 in the IDH1 wide-type group, 1p/19q non-codel group, and mesenchymal subtype group was significantly reduced, and the results showed that CACNG3 could serve as a biomarker for the mesenchymal molecular subtype. In addition, the univariate and multivariate analysis verified the prognostic value of CACNG3 in predicting the OS of gliomas of all grades. The results of functional annotation and pathway enrichment analysis of differently expressed genes(DEGs), showed that CACNG3 might affect the development of glioma by interfering with synaptic transmission. Moreover, temozolomide (TMZ), commonly used in the treatment of glioma, increased CACNG3 expression in a dose and time-dependent manner. Therefore, CACNG3 plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of gliomas and can serve as a potential biomarker for targeted therapy and further investigation in the future.
