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 malignant tumor in brain and is highly resistant to therapy. Clinical evidence suggests increased number of cancer stem cells (CSCs) may contribute to the failure of conventional therapies, but the mechanisms associated with acquisition of CSC properties in GBM are not fully understood. We found that DAB2IP suppresses CSC properties by targeting the synaptic proteins neuroligin 3 (NLGN3) in GBM. Furthermore, we showed that GBM-derived NLGN3 has an oncogenic function by inducing CSC properties within GBM. Moreover, elevated NLGN3 transcription mediated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway resulted in increased secretion of NLGN3 into the surrounding tumor microenvironment. Both condition media containing NLGN3 and recombinant NLGN3 transformed neighboring cells to CSCs, suggesting NLGN3 as a critical component inducing CSC properties. Furthermore, targeting NLGN3-bearing CSCs using upstream Wnt/β-catenin inhibitors synergistically enhances the efficacy of conventional treatment. Hence, we unveiled the series of regulatory mechanisms for acquisition of CSC properties in GBM progression by Wnt/β-catenin-mediated NLGN3. These results may provide a new targeting strategy to improve the therapeutic efficacy of GBM treatments.
