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

backgroundAdipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) has been shown to be closely related to cancer progression; however research on its potential role in glioblastoma (GBM) remains limited.

methodsFollowing an expression analysis of AEBP1 in GBM through the Oncomine database, other critical findings were accessed via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Specifically, in addition to identifying differentially expressed genes, the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were further investigated. Additionally, a gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to examine the enrichment pathways in the AEBP1 high-expression group. To examine the prognostic role of AEBP1 in GBM, survival information was obtained from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database. Finally, the relationship between the expression of AEBP1 and immune infiltration in GBM was examined by using the "Gene Module", "Survival Module", and "SCNA Module" on the website "Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER)".

resultsThe Oncomine database revealed that AEBP1 was highly expressed in GBM. The prognostic analyses of 4 independent databases (i.e., TCGA, GTEx, Oncomine, and CGGA) revealed that AEBP1 was an independent predictable marker of GBM. The results of the GSEA showed that protein export, prion disease, cytokine receptor interaction, hematopoietic cell lineage, cell adhesion molecules, apoptosis, and the complement and coagulation cascades were differentially enriched in highly expressed AEBP1 phenotypes. Hence the conclusion is that the high expression of AEBP1 is closely correlated to poor prognosis of GBM. The immune analysis demonstrated that AEBP1 copy number alteration might affect immune infiltration in GBM tissues, and thus the survival outcomes of GBM patients.

conclusionsHigh AEBP1 expression in GBM is closely correlated to patient prognosis. AEBP1 is a potential therapeutic target for the inhibition of cancerous progression and the development of new immunotherapies for GBM.
