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

backgroundGlioma cells have increased intake and metabolism of methionine, which can be monitored with 11 C-L-methionine. However, a short half-life of 11 C (~ 20 min) limits its application in clinical practice. It is necessary to develop a methionine metabolism genes-based prediction model for a more convenient prediction of glioma survival.

methodsWe evaluated the patterns of 29 methionine metabolism genes in glioma from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A risk model was established using Lasso regression analysis and Cox regression. The reliability of the prognostic model was validated in derivation and validation cohorts (Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas; CGGA). GO, KEGG, GSEA and ESTIMATE analyses were performed for biological functions and immune characterization.

resultsOur results showed that a majority of the methionine metabolism genes (25 genes) were involved in the overall survival of glioma (logrank p and Cox p < 0.05). A 7-methionine metabolism prognostic signature was significantly related to a poor clinical prognosis and overall survival of glioma patients (C-index = 0.83). Functional analysis revealed that the risk model was correlated with immune responses and with epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, the nomogram integrating the signature of methionine metabolism genes manifested a strong prognostic ability in the training and validation groups.

conclusionsThe current model had the potential to improve the understanding of methionine metabolism in gliomas and contributed to the development of precise treatment for glioma patients, showing a promising application in clinical practice.
