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 is one of the most aggressive brain tumors in adults. Despite the use of the best available multimodal therapeutic approaches, the prognosis remains dismal. The identification of glioma stem cells (GSCs) has offered new hope to affected patients, since it could explain, in part, the highly heterogeneous nature of this tumor and its chemo- and radio-resistance. Although still in its infancy, GSC research has unveiled many of its complexities and the theory itself remains controversial. GSC phenotype can significantly vary between patients and a single tumor may present several distinct GSCs. New therapeutic solutions that effectively target this population are of utmost importance, since they may be able to decrease neoplastic recurrence and improve patient survival. Here, we discuss the mechanisms by which GSCs lead to glioma relapse, the main controversies in this field and the most recent treatments that could successfully target this population.
