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

Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 3 (STEAP3), a member of the iron regulation protein family, is characterized by a high recurrence rate and a short survival time. Nevertheless, studies investigating the role of STEAP3 in glioblastoma (GB) are scarce. In this study, the prognostic value of STEAP3 was evaluated utilizing mRNA expression profiles from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases as the validation and training cohorts, respectively. Moreover, differentially expressed genes were subjected to a functional enrichment analysis. The relationship between STEAP3 and the tumor microenvironment (TME) was examined. The immunophenoscore (IPS) and tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) score were used to investigate response to immunotherapy. In all cohorts, GB patients with higher STEAP3 expression levels exhibited shorter overall survival (OS). Additionally, STEAP3-associated genes were primarily implicated in leukocyte migration, the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, and the cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. In the STEAP3 high-expression group, the ESTIMATEScore, ImmuneScore, StromalScore, and IPS were significantly higher. Overall, our results highlighted that STEAP3 might serve as a candidate prognostic biomarker for GB. Additionally, it might regulate the TME and influence GB metastasis.
