CD9 expression rivals IDH mutation as a prognostic marker in glioma: a novel nomogram approach.

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.
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
Purpose: Glioma remains a lethal malignancy with limited prognostic biomarkers. This study evaluates the prognostic significance and functional mechanisms of tetraspanin CD9 in glioma to establish its clinical relevance and identify therapeutic strategies. Methods: Multi-omics analyses were performed using 1,033 glioma samples from TCGA and CGGA cohorts. A CD9-integrated nomogram was developed via Cox regression. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) assessed the causal link between CD9 expression and glioma risk using IVW, MR-Egger, and WM methods. KEGG enrichment analysis identified biological pathways. Single-cell RNA sequencing from 20 glioblastoma cases was analyzed using CellChat and Monocle3 to explore CD9-mediated cell communication and lineage transitions. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed via STRING and GeneMANIA, and drug predictions were performed using DsigDB. Results: CD9 overexpression was an independent predictor of poor survival (HR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.03-1.58). The CD9-based nomogram showed high prognostic accuracy (CGGA: C-index = 0.805 ± 0.01, TCGA: C-index = 0.859 ± 0.02). MR confirmed a causal association between CD9 and glioma risk (IVW OR = 1.33, Conclusion: CD9 is a prognostic biomarker in glioma, with causal evidence linking its overexpression to tumor development. Its integration into risk models enhances prognostic precision, while drug screening highlights emetine as a potential therapy.
