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
Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) reside in hypoxic periarteriolar niches of glioblastoma micro-environment, however, the crosstalk of GSCs with macrophages on regulating tumor angiogenesis and progression are not fully elucidated. GSCs-derived exosomes (GSCs-exos) are essential mediators during tumor immune-microenvironment remodeling initiated by GSCs, resulting in M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) as we reported previously. Our data disclosed aberrant upregulation of miR-374b-3p in both clinical glioblastoma specimens and human cell lines of GSCs. MiR-374b-3p level was high in GSCs-exos and can be internalized by macrophages. Mechanistically, GSCs exosomal miR-374b-3p induced M2 polarization of macrophages by downregulating phosphatase and tensin expression, thereby promoting migration and tube formation of vascular endothelial cells after coculture with M2 macrophages. Cumulatively, these data indicated that GSCs exosomal miR-374b-3p can enhance tumor angiogenesis by inducing M2 polarization of macrophages, as well as promote malignant progression of glioblastoma. Targeting exosomal miR-374b-3p may serve as a potential target against glioblastoma.
