Glioblastoma Tumor Microenvironment and Purinergic Signaling: Implications for Novel Therapies.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Glial-origin brain tumors, particularly glioblastomas (GBMs), are known for their devastating prognosis and are characterized by rapid progression and fatal outcomes. Despite advances in surgical resection, complete removal of the tumor remains unattainable, with residual cells driving recurrence that is resistant to conventional therapies. The GBM tumor microenviroment (TME) significantly impacts tumor progression and treatment response. In this review, we explore the emerging role of purinergic signaling, especially the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R). Due to its unique characteristics, it plays a key role in tumor progression and offers a potential therapeutic strategy for GBM through TME modulation. We discuss also the emerging role of the P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) as a promising therapeutic target. Overall, targeting purinergic signaling offers a potential approach to overcoming current GBM treatment limitations.
