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

B-cell lymphoma 2-related protein A1 (BCL2A1) is a member of the BCL-2 family. Previous studies have shown that BCL2A1 is closely related to the tumorigenesis and resistance to chemotherapy of multiple solid tumors, such as breast cancer. However, the expression pattern and potential biological function of BCL2A1 in glioma remain unknown. For the first time, we found that the expression of BCL2A1 was higher in human glioma tissues than in normal brain tissues (NBTs) in both public datasets and an in-house cohort. High BCL2A1 expression was associated with advanced WHO grade, IDH 1/2 wild type and the mesenchymal (ME) subtype, and its overexpression in glioma predicted resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy and unfavorable prognosis. In addition, Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that BCL2A1 was significantly correlated with the immune response and immune-related pathways, and BCL2A1 expression was positively correlated with microenvironmental parameters (immune, stromal, and ESTIMATE scores) and macrophage infiltration. Interestingly, bioinformatic prediction and immunohistochemical/immunofluorescence staining analysis revealed that BCL2A1 expression was obviously associated with the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) markers CD68 and CCL2. Notably, knockdown of BCL2A1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation of U87 and U251
