Neurotransmitter-Mediated Signaling in Glioblastoma and Glial Tumors: Biology and Therapeutic Opportunities.

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
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor of adulthood, and despite optimal safe resection and chemoradiation, it is still lethal. Neuroscience of cancer has shown that neuronal activities, as well as neurotransmitters, play an active role in the glioma microenvironment. This article aims to integrate the existing literature on the role of neurotransmitters and their receptors in glioblastoma, as well as other gliomas, highlighting areas of therapeutic intervention in the neuron-tumor interface. We will describe the neuro-glioma interface, including functional neuron-glioma synapses and activity-dependent tumor growth. We will also discuss major neurotransmitter systems involved in glioma pathobiology: glutamate, gamma aminobutyric acid, acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and other neurotransmitters. We will highlight that these neurotransmitter systems activate common intracellular signaling pathways that control tumor proliferation, invasion, metabolic reprogramming, immune suppression, therapy resistance, etc. In addition, some reports have found tumor-suppressing effects depending on the context. The involvement of neurotransmitter-driven signaling pathways represents a promising area of clinical potential in glioma pathobiology. In particular, focusing on key neurotransmitter systems with blood-brain barrier-permeable agents like alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA/X
