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

Glioma progression is heavily driven by heterogeneity and a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This study aimed to identify a robust long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) prognostic signature and elucidate its role in TME remodeling. An unbiased transcriptome-wide screening of the TCGA and CGGA databases was performed. A prognostic risk signature was constructed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Based on multivariate coefficients, the core protective gene SNAI3-AS1 was selected for in vitro validation in U87 and U251 cells. Additionally, a U87-derived conditioned medium (CM) co-culture system was established to investigate the cooperative reinforcement of SNAI3-AS1 overexpression and the ferroptosis inducer erastin on macrophage polarization (THP-1 cell line), assessed via RT-qPCR and ELISA. A 23-lncRNA prognostic signature was established, demonstrating high accuracy in predicting overall survival and correlating positively with immunosuppressive M2 macrophage infiltration. RT-qPCR results revealed that SNAI3-AS1 was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues. While SNAI3-AS1 overexpression did not alter cell proliferation, it profoundly suppressed three-dimensional matrix migration and invasion. Moreover, SNAI3-AS1 overexpression cooperates with erastin to elevate cellular levels of malondialdehyde and Fe
