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

Previous studies majorly focused on the role of driver gene variation in the occurrence, development and treatment of glioma. Here, we revealed the effect of signaling pathway abnormality by accumulated genetic mutations on patient survival and explored potential mechanism in glioma. We found that abnormalities of three signaling pathways, including autophagy-animal, focal adhesion and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, were associated with progression-free survival (PFS) in glioma. Based on the three pathways, we constructed and validated a biological pathway score (BPS) model to predict patient prognosis. Both PFS and overall survival (OS) were poorer in glioma patients with high BPS. In the glioma patients with high BPS, mutation frequencies of PTEN, TTN and EGFR were significantly increased. Immune checkpoints (PD-1, PD-L1 and TIM-3) were strikingly expressed in the high BPS patients with glioma, despite observed high levels of infiltrating immune cells. Differential expression genes in the high BPS patients were enriched in proliferation-related pathways. These results revealed potential reasons of poor prognosis in the high BPS patients with glioma. In addition, we found that low BPS patients with glioma might benefit from sevoflurane during surgery anesthesia. Overall, this study exhibited that the abnormalities of PFS-related signaling pathways by genetic mutations impacted survival of patients and revealed potential mechanism of poor PFS in glioma.
