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
Objective: MCM5 is a DNA licensing factor involved in cell proliferation and has been previously established as an excellent biomarker in a number of malignancies. Nevertheless, the role of MCM5 in GBM has not been fully clarified. The present study aimed to investigate the potential roles of MCM5 in the treatment of GBM and to elucidate its underlying mechanism, which is beneficial for developing new therapeutic strategies and predicting prognosis. Methods: Firstly, we obtained transcriptomic and proteomic data from the TCGA and CPTAC databases on glioma patients. Employing the DeSeq2 R package, we then identified genes with joint differential expression in GBM tissues subjected to chemotherapy. To develop a prognostic risk score model, we performed univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. In vitro knockdown and overexpression of MCM5 were used to further investigate the biological functions of GBM cells. Additionally, we also delved into the upstream regulation of MCM5, revealing associations with several transcription factors. Finally, we investigated differences in immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity across diverse risk groups identified in the prognostic risk model. Results: In this study, the chemotherapy-treated GBM samples exhibited consistent alterations in 46 upregulated and 94 downregulated genes at both the mRNA and protein levels. Notably, MCM5 emerged as a gene with prognostic significance as well as potential therapeutic relevance. In vitro experiments subsequently validated the role of increased MCM5 expression in promoting GBM cell proliferation and resistance to TMZ. Correlations with transcription factors such as CREB1, CTCF, NFYB, NRF1, PBX1, TEAD1, and USF1 were discovered during upstream regulatory analysis, enriching our understanding of MCM5 regulatory mechanisms. The study additionally delves into immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity, providing valuable insights for personalized treatment approaches. Conclusion: This study identifies MCM5 as a key player in GBM, demonstrating its prognostic significance and potential therapeutic relevance by elucidating its role in promoting cell proliferation and resistance to chemotherapy.
