Serum metabolic profiling enables diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring for brainstem gliomas.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Brainstem gliomas (BSG) is a highly malignant central nervous system childhood tumors with 5-year survival rate <10%. Metabolism during radiotherapy is a dynamic and precisely programmed process, improving clinical outcomes and guiding therapy decisions of BSG. Here we construct diagnostic and prognostic assays of BSG via circulating metabolites based on both cross-sectional study and longitudinal cohort study with 106 BSG patients. We employ nanoparticle enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry to characterize static and dynamic snapshots of metabolites during BSG radiotherapy. We show that this serological tool reaches the area under the curve of 0.933 for BSG diagnosis in an independent blind test and predicts risk of patients with significant differences (p < 0.05) in prognostic outcomes. We further identify eight distinct temporal patterns of metabolite regulation associated with radiotherapy responses and tracked the metabolic trajectory via dynamic metabolic snapshots throughout radiotherapy process. If further validated, this framework could be extended to derive comprehensive metabolic pictures for cancers including but not limited to BSG.
