Identification of PDLIM1 as a glioblastoma stem cell marker driving tumorigenesis and chemoresistance.
Article in Cell death discovery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with a poor prognosis, largely due to the presence of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). These cells drive tumor progression, recurrence, and chemoresistance, making them critical targets for therapy. This study aims to identify novel GSC markers for improved diagnosis and targeted treatment. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk RNA-seq data to identify PDLIM1 as a novel GSC marker. PDLIM1 was specifically expressed in GSCs and was associated with poor prognosis and advanced tumor stages. Functional assays demonstrated that PDLIM1 overexpression enhanced GBM cell proliferation, reduced apoptosis, increased GSC proportions, and promoted chemoresistance and tumorigenesis. Conversely, PDLIM1 knockdown inhibited these processes. Mechanistically, PDLIM1 was found to exert its effects likely by promoting the PI3K-AKT pathway. In conclusion, PDLIM1 may serve as a potential marker of GSCs associated with poor prognosis, tumorigenesis, and chemoresistance in GBM, representing a potential therapeutic target for improving GBM patient outcomes.
