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 represent the most common primary Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors, characterized by increased heterogeneity, dysregulated intracellular signaling, extremely invasive properties, and a dismal prognosis. They are generally resistant to existing therapies and only a few molecular targeting options are currently available. In search of signal transduction pathways with a potential impact in glioma growth and immunotherapy, the Slit guidance ligands (Slits) and their Roundabout (Robo) family of receptors have been revealed as key regulators of tumor cells and their microenvironment. Recent evidence indicates the implication of the Slit/Robo signaling pathway in inflammation, cell migration, angiogenesis, and immune cell infiltration of gliomas, suppressing or promoting the expression of pivotal proteins, such as cell adhesion molecules, matrix metalloproteinases, interleukins, angiogenic growth factors, and immune checkpoints. Herein, we discuss recent data on the significant implication of the Slit/Robo signaling pathway in glioma pathology along with the respective targeting options, including immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, and protein expression modifiers.
