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

Gliomas are extremely debilitating malignant brain tumors with very limited response to therapies. The initiation and progression of gliomas can be attributed to several molecular abnormalities, such as mutations in important regulatory networks. In this regard, the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) arise as key signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. MAPK pathway has been altered in most glial tumors. In glioma cells, the activation of p38 MAPK contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis and is positively correlated with tumor grade, being considered a potential oncogenic factor contributing to brain tumorigenesis and chemotherapy resistance. Hence, a better understanding of glioma pathogenesis is essential to the advancement of therapies that provide extended life expectancy for glioma patients. This review aims to explore the role of the p38 MAPK pathway in the genesis and progression of malignant brain tumors.
