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

Gliomas exhibit high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. Despite substantial progress has been made at the genomic and transcriptomic levels, comprehensive proteomic characterization and its implications remain largely unexplored. In this study, we perform proteomic profiling of gliomas using 343 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor samples and 53 normal-appearing brain samples from 188 patients, integrating these data with genomic panel information and clinical outcomes. The proteomic analysis uncovers two distinct subgroups: Subgroup 1, the metabolic neural subgroup, enriched in metabolic enzymes and neurotransmitter receptor proteins, and Subgroup 2, the immune subgroup, marked by upregulation of immune and inflammatory proteins. These proteomic subgroups show significant differences in prognosis, tumorigenesis, microenvironment dysregulation, and potential therapeutics, highlighting the critical roles of metabolic and immune processes in glioma biology and patient outcomes. Through a detailed investigation of metabolic pathways guided by our proteomic findings, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) and thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) emerge as potential prognostic biomarkers linked to the reprogramming of nucleotide metabolism. Functional validation in patient-derived glioma stem cells and animal models highlights nucleotide metabolism as a promising therapy target for gliomas. This integrated multi-omics analysis introduces a proteomic classification for gliomas and identifies DPYD and TYMP as key metabolic biomarkers, offering insights into glioma pathogenesis and potential treatment strategies.
