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

Malignant glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the brain in adults, with glioblastoma (GBM) being the most aggressive subtype. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to fuse with tumor cells in various cancers including glioma, thereby regulating tumor progression. However, there has been no systematic research on the fusion of glioma-associated MSCs (GA-MSCs) with glioma cells. Here, it is shown that GA-MSCs are able to spontaneously fuse with glioma cells both in vitro and in vivo. The hybrid cells display significantly lower levels of N6-methyladenosine (m
