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

objectiveGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presents significant therapeutic challenges due to its heterogeneous tumorigenicity, drug resistance, and immunosuppression. Although several molecular markers have been developed, there still lack of sensitive molecular for accurately detection. Studying the mechanisms underlying the development of GBM and finding relevant prognostic biomarkers remains crucial.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA-seq, and cancer immune cycle activities of GBM were used to assess the expression of different molecular related to GBM. Bioinformatics analyses were carried to evaluate the functional of the high mobility group protein B3 (HMGB3) in GBM.

resultsHMGB3 was highly expressed in GBM tissues and influenced the interpatient and intratumoral transcriptomic heterogeneity as well as immunosuppression in GBM. HMGB3 also contributes to a no inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME) and has an inhibitory effect on tumor-associated immune cell infiltration. Besides, HMGB3 participated GBM chemotherapeutic sensitivity and negative correlation with 140 medicines.

conclusionHMGB3 as a heterogeneous and immunosuppressive molecule in the GBM TME, making it a potential target for precision therapy for GBM.
