Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04528680 (Phase 1 / 2 Trial of Blood-brain Barrier Opening With an Implantable Ultrasound Device SonoCloud-9 and Treatment With Albumin-bound Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Liquid biopsies hold promise to improve the diagnosis, assessment of response to therapy, and ultimately guide the management of cancer patients. However, implementation of this approach in brain tumors has proven challenging due to the limited passage of molecules across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We recently reported results from a phase I clinical trial in which the BBB was transiently opened in glioblastoma (GBM) patients using skull-implantable low-intensity pulsed ultrasound combined with microbubbles (LIPU/MB). In this study, treatment and BBB opening was performed every 3 weeks with paclitaxel administration until disease progression or up to 6 cycles (NCT04528680). As an exploratory objective of this trial, here we investigate extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs/EPs) released into circulation in the context of tumor cell death as a potential biomarker for response to treatment. We develop and validate a microfluidic device designed to capture tumor-derived EVPs in glioblastoma patients (
