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
Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance is a critical factor that affects the therapeutic efficacy in glioblastoma (GBM). Glutathione peroxidase 8 (GPX8), a ROS scavenging enzyme, is associated with poor prognosis in GBM. In this study, we comprehensively studied the role and mechanism of GPX8 in GBM resistance to TMZ. We found that GPX8 was upregulated in GBM cells, tissues, and TMZ-resistant GBM cells. In U87 TMZ-resistant cells, GPX8 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferation, reversed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and sensitized cells to TMZ. Moreover, GPX8 knockdown induced mitochondrial oxidative stress, leading to apoptosis in TMZ-resistant cells. TEA domain family member 4 (TEAD4) was upregulated in GBM cells and transactivates GPX8. GPX8 interacted with collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) and promoted its expression. Overexpression of TEAD4 or CTHRC1 reversed the suppressive effect of GPX8 knockdown on the malignant phenotypes of TMZ-resistant cells and antagonized its promotive effect on mitochondrial ROS generation and apoptosis. Furthermore, overexpression of GPX8 or CTHRC1 promoted EMT, reduced ROS levels, and lowered TMZ sensitivity in resistant cells. Crucially, the p38 MAPK/FOXO3 pathway inhibitor Ade was able to reverse these effects. GPX8 knockdown increased GBM sensitivity to TMZ, inhibited EMT, and elevated ROS levels in both xenograft models and glioma organoids. Overall, our results elucidated that TEAD4-driven GPX8 suppresses mitochondrial oxidative stress in TMZ-resistant cells through activation of the CTHRC1/p38 MAPK/FOXO3 pathway, which promotes TMZ resistance in GBM cells. These findings suggest that GPX8 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for overcoming TMZ resistance in GBM.
