FOLR1 Regulates the Malignant Progression of Glioblastoma through the SRC/ERK1/2 Axis.
Article in Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGBM is an aggressive brain tumor with limited treatment options. Prior research has indicated FOLR1 as a pivotal gene involved in cancer pathogenesis.
aimThis study aimed to explore the involvement of folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) in glioblastoma (GBM) and evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target.
objectiveThis study investigated the expression pattern of FOLR1 in GBM, its impact on patient prognosis, and its role in GBM cell growth and the SRC/ERK1/2 signaling axis.
methodsInitially, we conducted an expression analysis of FOLR1 based on public databases and examined its expression pattern in GBM and its impact on patient prognosis. Subsequently, cell experiments were carried out to evaluate the regulation of GBM cells by differential FOLR1 expression. We then downloaded 100 FOLR1 co-expressed genes from the Linkedomics data repository and performed an enrichment analysis. Finally, the role of FOLR1 and SRC/ERK1/2 axis in GBM was analyzed again by cell experiments.
resultsFOLR1 was found to be substantially expressed in GBM patients and was linked to a poor prognosis. Cell experiments showed that overexpression of FOLR1 promoted GBM cell growth, while low expression of FOLR1 inhibited cell growth. Additionally, genes related to FOLR1 were enriched in the lysosome, toxoplasmosis, and other pathways. This study further indicated that FOLR1 facilitates the activation of the SRC/ERK1/2 signaling pathway in GBM cells, and the attenuation of these pathways can effectively impede the malignancy-promoting effects triggered by FOLR1 in GBM cells.
conclusionsWe revealed that FOLR1 orchestrates the malignant advancement of GBM by stimulating the SRC/ERK1/2 signaling axis, underscoring its pivotal role in the pathogenesis of GBM.
