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

Neural-tumor electrophysiology-marked by pathological membrane potentials and ion channel dysregulation-emerges as actionable targets to curb tumor aggression. Yet, how neural-driven bioelectrical crosstalk dynamically regulates tumors within functional circuits remains elusive, demanding tools for real-time interaction decoding. Here, we present a machine learning-driven electrophysiological platform that integrates custom microfluidics with real-time decoding of complex neural-tumor signal dynamics. Our findings show that glioma cells selectively hijack specific subsets of neural signals, reshaping waveform properties and synchronizing their firing events with neural activity. This dynamic interaction plays a critical role in boosting glioma invasiveness, as tumor cells harness neural activity to promote their progression. Notably, targeted stimulation of glioma cells with these hijacked signal patterns-without direct neural involvement-is sufficient to induce hyper-invasive behavior, emphasizing the role of these electrical cues as drivers of tumor aggression.
