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 (GBM) is the most prevalent malignant primary brain tumor, accounting for 14.2% of all diagnosed tumors and 50.1% of all malignant tumors, and the median survival time is approximately 8 months irrespective of whether a patient receives treatment without significant improvement despite expansive research (Ostrom QT, Price M, Neff C, et al. CBTRUS statistical report: primary brain and other central nervous system tumors diagnosed in the United States in 2015-2019. Neurooncology. 2022; 24(suppl 5):v1-v95.). Recently, important roles for the circadian clock in GBM tumorigenesis have been reported. Positive regulators of circadian-controlled transcription, brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1), and circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), are highly expressed also in GBM and correlated with poor patient prognosis. BMAL1 and CLOCK promote the maintenance of GBM stem cells (GSCs) and the establishment of a pro-tumorigenic tumor microenvironment (TME), suggesting that targeting the core clock proteins may augment GBM treatment. Here, we review findings that highlight the critical role the circadian clock plays in GBM biology and the strategies by which the circadian clock can be leveraged for GBM treatment in the clinic moving forward.
