PBX3 as a biomarker for the early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of glioma.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIncreasing evidence have elucidated that PBX3 played a crucial role in cancer initiation and progression. PBX3 was differentially expressed in many cancer types. However, PBX3 potential involvement in gliomas remains to be explored.
methodsThe expression level of PBX3 in glioma tissues and glioma cells, and its correlation with clinical features were analyzed by data from TCGA, GEPIA, CGGA and CCLE. Univariable survival and Multivariate Cox analysis was used to compare several clinical characteristics with survival. We also analyzed the correlation between PBX3 expression level and survival outcome and survival time of LGG and GBM patients by using linear regression equation. GSEA was used to generate an ordered list of all genes related to PBX3 expression and screening of genes co-expressed with PBX3 mRNA by "limma" package.
resultsThe results showed that PBX3 was highly expressed in gliomas and its expression increased with the increase of malignancy. Survival analysis found that PBX3 is more valuable in predicting the OS and PFI of LGG patients than that of GBM. For further study, TCGA and CGGA data were downloaded for univariate Cox analysis and multivariate Cox analysis which showed that the expression of PBX3 was independent influencing factors for poor prognosis of LGG patients. Meanwhile, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that PBX3 was a predictor of overall survival rate and progression-free survival rate of LGG. Linear regression model analysis indicated that the higher expression of PBX3 the higher the risk of death of LGG patients, and the higher expression of PBX3 the higher the risk of disease progression of LGG patients. Next, TCGA data were downloaded for GSEA and Co-expression analyses, which was performed to study the function of PBX3.
conclusionPBX3 may be involved in the occurrence and development of glioma, and has potential reference value for the early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of glioma.
