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 remains one of the deadliest brain malignancies. First-line therapy consists of maximal surgical tumor resection, accompanied by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Malignant cells escape surgical resection by migrating into the surrounding healthy brain tissue, where they give rise to the recurrent tumor. Based on gene expression, tumor cores can be subtyped into mesenchymal, proneural, and classical tumors, each being associated with differences in genetic alterations and cellular composition. In contrast, the adjacent brain parenchyma where infiltrating malignant cells escape surgical resection is less characterized in patients. Using spatial transcriptomics (n = 11), we show that malignant cells within proneural or mesenchymal tumor cores display spatially organized differences in gene expression, although such differences decrease within the infiltrated brain tissue. Malignant cells residing in infiltrated brain tissue have increased expression of genes related to neurodevelopmental pathways and glial cell differentiation. Our findings provide an updated view of the spatial landscape of glioblastomas and further our understanding of the malignant cells that infiltrate the healthy brain, providing new avenues for the targeted therapy of these cells after surgical resection.
