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

Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by rapid growth, high molecular heterogeneity, and invasiveness. Specific aggressive factors are represented by MGMT promoter methylation, and IDH mutation status. Current standard-of-care for GBM includes surgical resection, followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide. However, patients almost invariably succumb due to therapy resistance and disease recurrences. Therefore, novel therapies for GBM are urgently needed to improve patient survival, necessitating the identification of new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets.In this context, "omics" technologies, such as metabolomics and lipidomics, can generate vast amounts of data useful to elucidate the complex molecular mechanisms driving this disease, and discover potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Our review aims to highlight the current literature on the metabolomics studies conducted on GBM biological matrices, such as in vitro and in vivo models, tissues and biofluids, including plasma, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid.From the data reported here, it appears that metabolic reprogramming in GBM is characterized by dysregulation in multiple pathways, particularly glycolysis (Warburg effect), amino acid metabolism, and the urea cycle, and the metabolic changes disclose promising tumor targets.
