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

The cortical microenvironment surrounding malignant glioblastoma is a source of depolarizing crosstalk favoring hyperexcitability, tumor expansion, and immune evasion. Neosynaptogenesis, excess glutamate, and altered intrinsic membrane currents contribute to excitability dyshomeostasis, yet only half of the cases develop seizures, suggesting that tumor and host genomics, along with location, rather than mass effect, play a critical role. We analyzed the spatial contours and expression of 358 clinically validated human epilepsy genes in the human glioblastoma transcriptome compared to non-tumor adult and developing cortex datasets. Nearly half, including dosage-sensitive genes whose expression levels are securely linked to monogenic epilepsy, are strikingly enriched and aberrantly regulated at the leading edge, supporting a complex epistatic basis for peritumoral epileptogenesis. Surround hyperexcitability induced by complex patterns of proepileptic gene expression may explain the limited efficacy of narrowly targeted antiseizure medicines and the persistence of epilepsy following tumor resection and clarify why not all brain tumors provoke seizures.
