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

backgroundGlioma is the most common primary malignant tumor in the brain, and even with standard treatments including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the long-term survival rate of patients remains unsatisfactory. Recurrence is one of the leading causes of death in glioma patients. The molecular mechanisms underlying glioma recurrence remain unclear.

methodsOur study utilized single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and RNA-seq data to identify a subtype of FN1 + tumor-associated macrophages (FN1 + TAMs) associated with glioma recurrence.

resultsThis study revealed an increased abundance of FN1 + TAMs in recurrent gliomas, indicating their potential involvement as a critical factor in glioma recurrence. A negative correlation was observed between the abundance of FN1 + TAMs in primary gliomas and the interval time to recurrence, suggesting poor prognosis for glioma patients with high levels of FN1 + TAMs. Further investigation showed that FN1 + TAMs were enriched in hypoxic tumor regions, implying that metabolic changes in tumors drive the production and recruitment of FN1 + TAMs. Additionally, FN1 + TAMs were found to contribute to the regulation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in gliomas, and their abundance might serve as an indicator of patients' sensitivity to immunotherapy. Finally, we developed a user-friendly website, PRIMEG ( http://www.szflab.site/PRIMEG/ ), for exploring the immune microenvironment of primary and recurrent gliomas.

conclusionOur findings highlight a subtype of FN1 + TAMs associated with glioma recurrence, providing new insights into potential therapeutic targets. Moreover, the abundance of FN1 + TAMs hold promise for predicting immune therapy response and aiding in more precise risk stratification of recurrent glioma patients.
