Identification and validation of a metabolism-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of paediatric medulloblastoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Medulloblastoma (MB) is a malignant brain tumour that is highly common in children and has a tendency to spread to the brain and spinal cord. MB is thought to be a metabolically driven brain tumour. Understanding tumour cell metabolic patterns and characteristics can provide a promising foundation for understanding MB pathogenesis and developing treatments. Here, by analysing RNA-seq data of MB samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, 12 differentially expressed metabolic-related genes (DE-MRGs) were chosen for the construction of a predictive risk score model for MB. This model demonstrated outstanding accuracy in predicting the outcomes of MB patients and served as a standalone predictor. An evaluation of functional enrichment revealed that the risk score showed enrichment in pathways related to cancer promotion and the immune response. In addition, a high risk score was an independent poor prognostic factor for MB in patients with different ages, sexes, metastasis stages and subgroups (SHH and Group 4). Consistently, the metabolic enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC1) was upregulated in MB patients with poor survival time. Inhibition of ODC1 in primary and metastatic MB cell lines decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion but increased immune infiltration. This study could aid in identifying metabolic targets for MB as well as optimizing risk stratification systems and individual treatment plans for MB patients via the use of a metabolism-related gene prognostic risk score signature.
