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

The guanylate-binding protein (GBP) family, a group of interferon-induced GTPases, is pivotal in pathogen defense, inflammation regulation, and tumor immunity. Among them, GBP5 has emerged as a key player due to its distinctive roles in various diseases. However, existing studies reveal significant gaps, particularly regarding its expression, regulatory mechanisms, and functional dynamics across diverse diseases and patient populations, limiting its reliability as a biomarker or therapeutic target. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of GBP5 functions across infectious diseases, cancer, immune disorders, and inflammation, with dedicated analysis of its context-dependent functional variability in distinct immune landscapes, genetic backgrounds, and disease progression stages. This systematic evaluation provides a critical foundation for future research, highlighting GBP5's promise as both a biomarker and therapeutic target in precision medicine.
