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

objectiveGlioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive brain tumors and often leads to poor outcomes. Studies have indicated that glycan levels are significantly correlated with the pathogenesis and development of cancers. However, whether glycan levels can serve as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in GBM remains unclear.

methodsWe obtained glycomic profiles in tissue and serum samples from 55 individuals with GBM using a well-established lectin biochip platform probing with 11 specific lectins.

resultsOur univariate analysis showed that 5 out of the 11 lectin-probed glycans (LPGs) were significantly higher in GBM tissues than in peri-tumoral tissues. After logistic regression analyses, only the Jacalin-probed T-antigen difference between the two groups remained significant (p = 0.037). Moreover, survival-related analyses showed that the level of Jacalin-probed T-antigen was significantly associated with the progression-free survival (p = 0.038) of patients. However, none of the LPG levels were correlated with the overall survival or the chemosensitivity to temozolomide therapy. The correlation coefficient analysis showed a moderate-to-strong correlation in the Jacalin-probed T-antigen levels between GBM tissues and serum samples, indicating its potential usefulness as a non-invasive GBM progression biomarker.

interpretationGlycomics analyses can be helpful in the prediction of GBM recurrences and may provide information useful for GBM glycan-based target therapies or vaccine development.
