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 a lethal disease characterized by an overall survival of about 1 year, making it one of the most aggressive tumours, with very limited therapeutic possibilities. Specific biomarkers for early diagnosis as well as innovative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve the management of this deadly disease. In this work, we demonstrated that vesicular galectin-3-binding protein (LGALS3BP), a glycosylated protein overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies, is a potential GBM disease marker and can be efficiently targeted by a specific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Immunohistochemical analysis on patient tissues showed that LGALS3BP is highly expressed in GBM and, compared with healthy donors, the amount of vesicular but not total circulating protein is increased. Moreover, analysis of plasma-derived extracellular vesicles from mice harbouring human GBM revealed that LGALS3BP can be used for liquid biopsy as a marker of disease. Finally, an ADC targeting LGALS3BP, named 1959-sss/DM4, specifically accumulates in tumour tissue, producing a potent and dose-dependent antitumor activity. In conclusion, our work provides evidence that vesicular LGALS3BP is a potential novel GBM diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target deserving further preclinical and clinical validation.
