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

Most of glioma patients still experience relapse after radiotherapy owing to the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, the comprehensive landscape of immune cell infiltration and the molecular mechanisms mediating glioma recurrence remains unclear. Bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed the significant changes in the immune system including increased total tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and elevated M2-TAMs in recurrent glioma accepting radiotherapy. Meanwhile, C-C motif chemokine 18 (CCL-18) was the highest elevated molecule after radiotherapy. Consistently, the aforementioned results were confirmed in tissue microarray containing 23 paired gliomas.
