The HMGB1-RAGE Axis Drives the Proneural-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Aggressiveness in Glioblastoma.

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
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains the most lethal primary brain tumor, owing to profound intratumoral heterogeneity and the limited efficacy of standard treatments. The mesenchymal (MES) molecular subtype is particularly aggressive, exhibiting heightened invasiveness, therapy resistance, and dismal patient survival compared with the proneural (PN) subtype. Emerging evidence implicates the High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein and its cognate receptor, the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE), as drivers of malignant progression, yet their contribution to the PN-to-MES transition is incompletely defined. We integrated transcriptomic analyses of TCGA-GBM and TCGA-LGG cohorts with immunohistochemistry on in-house patient specimens. Functional studies in patient-derived and established GBM cell lines included migration and invasion assays, tumorsphere formation assays, shRNA knockdowns, and Seahorse XF metabolic profiling to interrogate the HMGB1-RAGE axis. HMGB1 and RAGE expression was markedly elevated in MES GBM tissues and cell lines. Importantly, higher HMGB1 expression correlated with shortened overall survival (
