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

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal brain tumor with a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel immune-related prognostic model for GBM patients to enhance personalized prognosis prediction and develop effective therapeutic strategies. Methods: RNA sequencing and clinical data for GBM patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE83300). Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed using the gene set variation analysis (GSVA) package in R to classify the samples into high and low immune infiltration clusters based on 29 immune cell subtypes. Clustering validations included differential analysis of immune scores and comparison of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) family expression and immune cell subtypes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis compared molecular mechanisms and cellular functions between clusters. Differentially expressed immune-related genes between the high and low immune infiltration clusters were screened out, and the prognostic immune-related genes (PIGs) were identified using univariate Cox regression. Co-expression analysis between PIGs and transcription factors (TFs) (Cistrome) was conducted, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network (STRING) was constructed. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression constructed a prognostic model. Correlation analyses between PIGs, immune infiltrates, and GBM-related genes were performed. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) analysis and a nomogram incorporating age, gender, and risk score were developed for individualized prognosis prediction. Results: A total of 312 differentially expressed immune-related genes were identified between high and low immune infiltration clusters. Of these, 28 genes were correlated with GBM prognosis. LASSO regression identified 10 genes ( Conclusions: In summary, our study provided a novel prognostic model based on ssGSEA for GBM patients and offered potential insights for understanding the tumor immune and molecular mechanisms of the disease.
