Collagen-Based Drug Delivery Agents for Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Being one of the most aggressive primary brain tumors, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is known from the median survivals of just 15 months following diagnosis. Conventional treatments, including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, have limited efficiency due to the invasive nature of glioma cells and the presence of a blood-brain barrier. Therefore, adjuvant therapy in the form of a localized delivery of chemotherapeutic agents is indispensable to increase the chances of patients. Among a variety of advanced drug carriers, collagen has recently emerged as an excellent choice for regional chemotherapy, mainly due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, weak antigenicity, biomimetics, and well-known safety profile, as well as its native presence in the extracellular matrix of the central nervous system. The aim of this paper is to highlight the most recent studies describing the application of collagen as a drug carrier able to provide an extended delivery of chemotherapeutic agents directly to the GBM site, and to provide exciting opportunities for its future applications.
