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

Anoikis resistance, the evasion of programmed cell death when cells detach from the extracellular matrix (ECM), is a critical feature of glioblastoma (GBM) malignancy, contributing to tumor survival, spread, and resistance to therapy. We focused on the role of growth factor receptors, particularly platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα), and integrin expression patterns in mediating this resistance. We first cultured cells under non-adherent conditions using polyHEMA-treated plates to induce anoikis resistance. We performed assays like cell survival, migration, and sphere formation. To delineate the role of PDGFRα signalling in anoikis resistance, we further employed pharmacological inhibitors of key signalling molecules such as AG1295 (PDGFRα blocker), HS173 (PI3K inhibitor), U0126 (ERK inhibitor), and AG490 (JAK-STAT inhibitor) which led to a decrease in cell survival, proliferation, and migration. These findings highlight the critical role of PDGFRα and associated signalling pathways in mediating anoikis resistance in GBM, offering potential therapeutic targets for intervention.
