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

backgroundGlioblastoma is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumour in the adult population and its prognosis is dismal. The heterogeneous nature of the tumour, to which epigenetic dysregulation significantly contributes, is among the main therapeutic challenges of the disease.

resultsWe have leveraged SYNGN, an experimental pipeline enabling the syngeneic comparison of glioblastoma stem cells and expanded potential stem cell (EPSC)-derived neural stem cells to identify regulatory features driven by chromatin remodelling specifically in glioblastoma stem cells.

conclusionsWe show epigenetic regulation of the expression of genes and related signalling pathways contributing to glioblastoma development. We also identify novel epigenetically regulated druggable target genes on a patient-specific level, including SMOX and GABBR2.
