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

purposeRecent studies revealed a pro-tumor effect of constitutive Type-1 interferons (IFN-I) production and the downstream signaling activity in several malignancies. In contrast, heterogeneity and clinical significance of the signaling activity in gliomas remain unknown. Thus, we aimed to depict the heterogeneity and clinical significance of constitutive Type-1 interferon (IFN-I) production and the downstream signaling activity in gliomas.

methodsWe utilized multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) on a 364 gliomas tissue microarray from our cohort. Moreover, we conducted bioinformatic analyses on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases to investigate the heterogeneity and clinical significance of constitutive IFN-I signaling activity in gliomas.

resultsWe observed high heterogeneity of the constitutive IFN-I signaling activity among glioma subtypes. Signaling increased with the WHO malignancy grade while decreasing in the gliomas with IDH mutations. Additionally, high IFN-I activity served as an independent predictor of unfavorable outcomes, and global DNA hypermethylation in IDH-mutant gliomas was associated with decreased IFN-I signaling activity. Positive correlations were observed between the IFN-I activity and glioma-associated inflammation, encompassing both anti-tumor and pro-tumor immune responses. Furthermore, the IFN-I activity varied significantly among tumor and immune cells in the glioma microenvironment (GME). Notably, a distinct pattern of IFN-I signaling activity distribution in GME cells was observed among glioma subtypes, and the pattern was independently associated with patient overall survival.

conclusionsConstitutive IFN-I signaling activity varies significantly among glioma subtypes and represents a potential indicator for increased glioma inflammation and unfavorable clinical outcomes.
