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

BACKGROUND/

aimGlioblastomas (GBMs) are aggressive primary brain tumors characterized by immune evasion and therapeutic resistance. Here, we aimed to decipher the transcriptional landscape of disease aggressiveness in GBM by employing a multi-layered transcriptomic approach. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed transcriptome-wide differential expression analysis using TCGA IDH-wildtype GBM data after stratifying the tumors based on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signature scores. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses, STRING-based protein-protein interaction (PPI) network assisted with centrality and random-walk analyses, univariate and multivariate Cox survival analyses, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), single-cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing analysis, CIBERSORTx immune deconvolution, and T cell exhaustion profiling were performed. Key findings were validated in independent datasets.

resultsWe identified 2088 protein-coding genes associated with disease aggressiveness in GBM. Among 1070 upregulated genes, 432 were risk-associated and enriched for immune-inflammatory pathways. Network analysis identified IL1B and CD4 as top hub genes, both of which were independently prognostic for poor overall survival. scRNA-seq analysis attributed CD4 expression to tumor-infiltrating T cells, more than half of which also co-expressed IL1B. CIBERSORTx deconvolution suggested progressive accumulation and exhaustion of CD4
