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 multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aggressive invasiveness and poor prognosis, and presents a significant clinical challenge due to incomplete surgical resection, poor blood‒brain barrier penetration of therapeutic agents, and inevitable recurrence mainly driven by residual glioma-initiating cells (GICs) and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to kill remaining GICs and reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment to prevent postoperative recurrence of GBM. Here, we design an injectable therapeutic platform that targets and kills remaining GICs and reverses the immunosuppressive microenvironment after postoperative resection to prevent the recurrence of GBM. This platform comprises GIC-targeting exosomes that carry siRNA for Notch1 and mitoxantrone to reduce the stemness of GICs and kill residual GICs and glioma cells, respectively, and an immune activator (interleukin-12), which can remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, ultimately suppressing postoperative GBM relapse. Our work provides a perspective into the effective inhibition of postresection recurrence of GBM.
