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

purposeGlioma is the most prevalent tumor of the central nervous system. The poor clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic efficacy underscore the urgent need for early diagnosis and an optimized prognostic approach for glioma. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify sensitive biomarkers for glioma. PATIENTS AND

methodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) of glioma were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The potential biomarkers were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. The prognostic ability of the potential biomarkers was evaluated by Cox regression and survival curve. CellMiner was used to access the correlation between the expression of potential biomarkers and anticancer drug sensitivity. We then explored the association of potential biomarkers and tumor immune infiltration by single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT. Immune staining in glioma patient samples and cell experiments of potential biomarkers further verified their expression and function.

resultsUltimately, we identified three potential biomarkers: SLC8A2, ATP2B3, and SRCIN1. These 3 genes were found significantly correlated with clinicopathological features (age, WHO grade, IDH mutation status, 1p19q codeletion status). Furthermore, the overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were found to be positively correlated with high expression of these 3 potential biomarkers. Besides, there was a substantial relationship between the sensitivity of anticancer drugs and these biomarkers expression. More importantly, the negative association between the 3 genes with most tumor immune cells was also established. Moreover, the decreased expression of the biomarkers was also verified in glioma patient samples. Finally, we confirmed that these 3 genes might promotes glioma proliferation and migration in vitro.

conclusionSLC8A2, ATP2B3, and SRCIN1 were identified as underlying biomarkers for glioma associated with prognosis assessments and personal immunotherapy.
