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
Background: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) achieve selective cytolysis via tumor-specific entry receptor. However, the prevalence of OVs receptors in malignant tumors has not been fully determined yet. Here, we systematically identify and characterize critical cellular entry receptors for clinically relevant OVs, particularly focusing on SCARB2 expression and its potential therapeutic implications for oncolytic Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) therapy in glioma. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed to summarize key entry receptors of major oncolytic viruses. Transcriptomic and proteomic data from TCGA, CPTAC, HPA, GEPIA2, CGGA and clinical databases were analyzed to profile receptor expression and clinical relevance across cancer types, especially glioma. Immunofluorescence and RNAi assays in glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines were conducted to assess SCARB2 localization, expression, and cellular functional roles. Results: Pan-cancer analyses revealed widespread overexpression of key viral receptors. SCARB2 significantly was overexpressed in glioma compared to brain tissues. Elevated SCARB2 protein levels were particularly noted in high-grade gliomas. Further Conclusions: SCARB2 serves as a critical cellular receptor for EV-A71-mediated oncolytic activity in glioma. Elevated SCARB2 expression in GBM highlights its potential as both a therapeutic target and predictive biomarker for selecting glioma patients responsive to oncolytic EV-A71 therapy.
