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

Background: Glioma, a prevalent brain tumor originating from glial cells, exhibits rapid growth, high recurrence, and significant invasiveness. Standard treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, yet their effectiveness remains unsatisfactory. Recent studies implicate oxidative stress in promoting glioma cell proliferation and migration, as well as enhancing survival rates, suggesting antioxidant therapy as a potential tumor treatment strategy. Objective: The aim of this review is to summarize the research hotspots on antioxidant treatment options for gliomas in the last twelve years and analyze the future trends through bibliometric analysis. Method: We collected articles on oxidative stress in gliomas published between January 1, 2013, and April 5, 2025, using the Web of Science (WOS) database. We also visualized and analyzed annual publications, countries, and journals using VOSviewer, Citespace, and pajek. Result: The search yielded a total of 1020 publications. Visual analyses show that the number of articles on this topic has increased annually over the last twelve years. Most of the studies came from China, followed by the United States. The three most cited journals were International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Cancer and Frontiers in Oncology. The author who published the most articles on this topic was Wang HD. Conclusion: Through a systematic analysis, we found that current research hotspots mainly focus on the dose of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tumor proliferation, inflammatory response, apoptosis, etc. in relation to oxidative stress. In addition, we analyzed the direction of future research: a possible focus on the treatment of gliomas via 'tumor microenvironment', 'blood-brain barrier', 'anti-inflammatory' and ' ferroptosis induction ' routes.
