MDK induces temozolomide resistance in glioblastoma by promoting cancer stem-like properties.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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 (GBM) is the most frequently observed and aggressive type of high-grade malignant glioma. Temozolomide (TMZ) is the primary agent for GBM treatment. However, TMZ resistance remains a major challenge. In this study, we report that MDK is overexpressed in GBM, which leads to enhanced proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, increased invasion and TMZ resistance in GBM cells. It was also determined that MDK could significantly improve the stem-like properties of GBM cells. Mechanistically, MDK enhanced p-JNK through Notch1 and subsequently increased the expression of stemness markers, such as CD133 and Nanog, thereby promoting TMZ resistance. Finally, xenograft experiments and clinical sample analysis also demonstrated that MDK knockdown could significantly inhibit tumor growth
