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

Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system in adults, characterized by high mortality, low cure rate and high recurrence rate. Among gliomas, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant subtype. Currently, the standard treatment for patients with GBM is maximum surgical excision combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But only a small percentage of patients benefit from this standard treatment. The tumor microenvironment plays an important role in the occurrence and development of most tumors. It is primarily composed of tumor cells, peripheral blood vessels, extracellular matrix, signaling molecules, stromal cells, and immune cells. The role of stromal cells in GBM has emerged as the focus of current research. The interaction among tumor, stromal, and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment can influence tumor development. Traditional research and drug therapy in glioma mainly focus on the tumor cells themselves, but recent studies have found that targeting stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment can also modulate tumor progression in GBM. Here, we review the influence of stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment of GBM on tumor cells and its related mechanism, as well as related molecular targets and signaling pathways, providing new ideas for the treatment and prognosis of GBM.
