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

Introduction: Malignant gliomas are the most prevalent and fatal types of primary malignant brain tumors with poor prognosis. Protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit beta (PPP3CB) is a pivotal constituent of the Ca Methods: Transcriptomes and clinical data of Glioblastoma (GBM) and low-grade glioma (LGG) samples were downloaded from TCGA and CGGA. We first explored the expressional and survival features of tumor tissues. Then, PPP3CB-associated genes were identified and their functional pathways were explored through GSEA analyses. Western blotting was conducted to modify PPP3CB expression. Samples of glioma patients and healthy controls were collected and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed to detect protein level. Further, we carried out an immune infiltration analysis, explored the correlation between PPP3CB and immune checkpoint genes, as well as to assessed the tumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor microenvironment score (TMEscore) of PPP3CB. Results: PPP3CB expression in malignant glioma tissues was significantly downregulated and was considered an independent prognostic factor. Several functional pathways were observed through functional pathway analyses. PPP3CB's expression was strongly related to the infiltration of various immune cells and expression of key immune checkpoint genes. PPP3CB expression in high-grade gliomas was significantly lower, affecting glioma cells' proliferation and apoptosis in vitro. Conclusion: PPP3CB was a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant gliomas.
