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

Biologically, the WDR77 gene is implicated in the occurrence and development of various clinical malignant tumors. However, its precise role in glioma remains unclear. Therefore, in this study we aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of the biological functions of WDR77 in glioma. Transcriptome data was obtained from CGGA (mRNAseq-693, mRNAseq-325) and TCGA databases for analysis. A total of 699 glioma samples from the TCGA database were used as the training cohort, while 1018 samples from CGGA were used as the validation cohort. Our analysis revealed that WDR77 was significantly overexpressed in high-grade gliomas and mesenchymal subtype gliomas. Survival analysis indicated that elevated WDR77 gene expression was associated with poor prognostic outcomes for high-grade gliomas, particularly Glioblastoma (GBM). Gene co-expression analysis demonstrated a high correlation between WDR77 and glioma cell cycle, metabolism, and immune processes. Overall, we identified WDR77 as a new biomarker closely associated with the malignant phenotype and poor prognostic outcomes for glioma, playing an important role in regulating the cell cycle and immune processes.
