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

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain malignancy, characterised by extensive intra-tumoural heterogeneity, therapy resistance, and a profoundly immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. The galectin family, a group of β-galactoside-binding lectins, has emerged as a key regulator of tumour biology, influencing oncogenesis, immune modulation, and therapy resistance. In this study, we performed an integrative bioinformatics analysis to systematically evaluate the expression patterns, prognostic significance, genetic alterations, and functional roles of galectin family members in glioblastoma. We utilised publicly available genomic datasets and computational tools to perform our analysis, including UALCAN, GEPIA, cBioPortal, STRING, GeneMANIA, DAVID, and TIMER. We identified
