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

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the predominant epigenetic modification for mRNAs that regulates various cancer-related pathways. However, the prognostic significance of m6A modification regulators remains unclear in glioma. By integrating the TCGA lower-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) gene expression data, we demonstrated that both the m6A regulators and m6A-target genes were associated with glioma prognosis and activated various cancer-related pathways. Then, we paired m6A regulators and their target genes as m6A-related gene pairs (MGPs) using the iPAGE algorithm, among which 122 MGPs were significantly reversed in expression between LGG and GBM. Subsequently, we employed LASSO Cox regression analysis to construct an MGP signature (MrGPS) to evaluate glioma prognosis. MrGPS was independently validated in CGGA and GEO glioma cohorts with high accuracy in predicting overall survival. The average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) at 1-, 3- and 5-year intervals were 0.752, 0.853 and 0.831, respectively. Combining clinical factors of age and radiotherapy, the AUC of MrGPS was much improved to around 0.90. Furthermore, CIBERSORT and TIDE algorithms revealed that MrGPS is indicative for the immune infiltration level and the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in glioma patients. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that m6A methylation is a prognostic factor for glioma and the developed prognostic model MrGPS holds potential as a valuable tool for enhancing patient management and facilitating accurate prognosis assessment in cases of glioma.
