Role of Podoplanin (PDPN) in Advancing the Progression and Metastasis of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM).
Review in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 multiforme (GBM) is a malignant primary brain tumor categorized as a Grade 4 astrocytic glioma by the World Health Organization (WHO). Some of the established risk factors of GBM include inherited genetic syndromes, body mass index, alcohol consumption, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and therapeutic ionizing radiation. Vascular anomalies, including local and peripheral thrombosis, are common features of GBM. Podoplanin (PDPN), a ligand of the C-type lectin receptor (CLEC-2), promotes platelet activation, aggregation, venous thromboembolism (VTE), lymphatic vessel formation, and tumor metastasis in GBM patients. It is regulated by Prox1 and is expressed in developing and adult mammalian brains. It was initially identified on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) as the E11 antigen and on fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) of lymphoid organs and thymic epithelial cells as gp38. In recent research studies, its expression has been linked with prognosis in GBM. PDPN-expressing cancer cells are highly pernicious, with a mutant aptitude to form stem cells. Such cells, on colocalization to the surrounding tissues, transition from epithelial to mesenchymal cells, contributing to the malignant carcinogenesis of GBM. PDPN can be used as an independent prognostic factor in GBM, and this review provides strong preclinical and clinical evidence supporting these claims.
