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

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly invasive malignancy with a poor prognosis, primarily attributable to its diffuse infiltration into adjacent brain tissue, thereby complicating effective surgical resection. Current imaging modalities often struggle to accurately identify tumor boundaries. Here, we identify general control non-repressed protein 5 (GCN5) as a promising molecular target for GBM imaging, as it is expressed in GBM lesions within brain tissue, and its expression levels are significantly correlated with GBM grading. We develop a dual-modal probe with a particle size of 20 nm, capable of efficiently traversing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to target GCN5 through adsorptive-mediated transcytosis (AMT). The probe employs dendrimers (Den) as carriers, which are loaded with a small molecule inhibitor specifically designed to target GCN5. This probe enhances the preoperative delineation of GBM boundaries using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and facilitates intraoperative fluorescence image-guided surgical procedures. Our work introduces a promising tool for boundary delineation, offering new opportunities for the precise resection of GBM.
