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 aggressive form of glioma, characterized by high mortality and poor prognosis. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a critical role in the progression and metastasis of GBM. This study aimed to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of miR-124-3p in GBM. Levels of miR-124-3p, EPHA2, and ALKBH5 were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and stemness were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, Transwell, and sphere formation assays, respectively. Bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase reporter assays, and RNA pull-down experiments were employed to validate the target of miR-124-3p. RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) were utilized to evaluate the regulation of miR-124-3p maturation by ALKBH5. The results indicated that overexpression of miR-124-3p inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and stemness of GBM cells. EPHA2 was identified as a direct downstream target of miR-124-3p, and its overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-124-3p on cellular functions. Furthermore, miR-124-3p targeted EPHA2 to inactivate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, ALKBH5 negatively regulated miR-124-3p by impeding its processing. In conclusion, knockdown of ALKBH5 promoted the processing of pri-miR-124-3p, increasing mature miR-124-3p levels, which inhibited the malignant behaviors of GBM cells by targeting EPHA2. These findings highlight the importance of the ALKBH5/miR-124-3p/EPHA2 axis in GBM.
