GALNT2 sustains glioma stem cells by promoting CD44 expression.
Article in Aging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 prevalent and malignant brain tumor and is highly resistant to currently available treatment. In this study, we reveal that polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 5 (GALNT2) expression level was elevated in GBM, IDH1 wildtype glioma, and GBM stem cells (GSCs). GALNT2 increased expression correlated with GBM patients' unfavorable clinical outcomes. Functionally, targeting GALNT2 blocks GSCs cell proliferation, self-renewal, and malignant invasion through repressing CD44 expression. Most importantly, we first provide evidence suggesting that STAT3 activates GALNT2 expression at the transcriptional level by directly binding to the GALNT2 promoter. Through a rational screening, we found a GALNT2 inhibitor that dramatically suppresses GSCs self-maintenance
