Lower ratio of IMPDH1 to IMPDH2 sensitizes gliomas to chemotherapy.
Article in Cancer gene therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Gliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, with approximately half of patients presenting with the most aggressive form of glioblastoma. Although several molecular markers for glioma have been identified, they are not sufficient to predict the prognosis due to the extensive genetic heterogeneity within glioma. Our study reveals that the ratio of IMPDH1 to IMPDH2 expression levels serves as a molecular indicator for glioma treatment prognosis. Patients with a higher IMPDH1/IMPDH2 ratio exhibit a worse prognosis, while those with a lower ratio display a more favorable prognosis. We further demonstrate that IMPDH1 plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular GTP/GDP levels following DNA damage compared to IMPDH2. In the absence of IMPDH1, cells experience an imbalance in the GTP/GDP ratio, impairing DNA damage repair capabilities and rendering them more sensitive to TMZ. This study not only introduces a novel prognostic indicator for glioma clinical diagnosis but also offers innovative insights for precise and stratified glioma treatment.
