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

Background: p120-catenin, COL4A2 and SOX10 are emerging as modulators of glioma pathophysiology and progression. This study aimed to characterize the expression pattern of these markers in glioma tissues with different degrees of malignancy, and tested their prognostic value for the outcome of glioblastoma IDH wild-type (GBM IDH Methods: All markers were assessed by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarrays prepared from healthy brain (n=38), astrocytoma grade 2 (n=24), astrocytoma grade 3 (n=22), and GBM IDH Results: The levels of p120-catenin significantly increased with the degree of glioma malignancy (p<0.001; Rho=0.599), while the opposite was observed for COL4A2 (p<0.001, Rho=-0.387) and SOX10 (p<0.001; Rho=-0.293). High levels of p120-catenin significantly associated with and predicted the poor overall survival of GBM IDH Conclusions: p120-catenin is a potential tumor-promoting factor in glioma, and a prognostic marker in GBM. In contrast, COL4A2 and SOX10 appear to act as tumor suppressors in glioma pathophysiology. SOX10 may additionally be a valuable prognostic marker in female GBM patients.
