Integrative transcriptomics and network analysis reveals core genes driving meningioma pathogenesis and clinical outcomes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Meningiomas are the most common primary CNS tumors, often managed conservatively due to their benign histology. Molecular phenotyping is considered the current frontier in meningioma classification to predict progression and guide clinical management of adjuvant therapies. While several biomarkers have been studied, a definitive molecular prognostic panel has yet to be established-a gap this study seeks to address. Using patient-resected meningioma tumor tissues paired with normal meninges, transcriptomic analysis identified a subset of significantly differentially-expressed-genes(DEG) linked to cellular proliferation and immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment. Graph-theory analysis revealed a rich-club organization in the gene networks, with highly connected core nodes. Core gene expression levels significantly correlated with tumor WHO grading, achieving an ROC-AUC of 0.8 for distinguishing low-grade(grade-1) from high-grade(grades-2&3) tumors(P < 0.001). For clinical outcomes, core gene expression achieved an AUC of 0.96 for predicting tumor recurrence(P < 0.001) and 0.74 for patient survival(P = 0.018). This study employs an analytical pipeline integrating transcriptomic analysis of meningiomas with a graph-theory approach to identify core regulators within pathological tumor networks. This refined method facilitated the discovery of phenotype-encoding biomarkers, which accurately predicted histological grade and clinical outcomes. The identified core markers provide insights into meningioma-specific pathophysiological pathways and offer potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
