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

Whether N6-Methyladenosine (m6A)- and ferroptosis-related genes act on immune responses to regulate glioma progression remains unanswered. Data of glioma and corresponding normal brain tissues were fetched from the TCGA database and GTEx. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified for GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. The FerrDb database was based to yield ferroptosis-related DEGs. Hub genes were then screened out using the cytoHubba database and validated in clinical samples. Immune cells infiltrating into the glioma tissues were analysed using the CIBERSORT R script. The association of gene signature underlying the m6A-related ferroptosis with tumour-infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints in low-grade gliomas was analysed. Of 6298 DEGs enriched in mRNA modifications, 144 were ferroptosis-related; NFE2L2 and METTL16 showed the strongest positive correlation. METTL16 knockdown inhibited the migrative and invasive abilities of glioma cells and induced ferroptosis in vitro. NFE2L2 was enriched in the anti-m6A antibody. Moreover, METTL16 knockdown reduced the mRNA stability and level of NFE2L2 (both p < 0.05). Proportions of CD8+ T lymphocytes, activated mast cells and M2 macrophages differed between low-grade gliomas and normal tissues. METTL16 expression was negatively correlated with CD8+ T lymphocytes, while that of NFE2L2 was positively correlated with M2 macrophages and immune checkpoints in low-grade gliomas. Gene signatures involved in the m6A-related ferroptosis in gliomas were identified via bioinformatic analyses. NFE2L2 interacted with METTL16 to regulate the immune response in low-grade gliomas, and both molecules may be novel therapeutic targets for gliomas.
