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 (GBM) is the most lethal brain tumor, characterized by strong resistance to conventional therapies. Despite recent therapeutic advancements, overcoming chemoresistance remains a major challenge. Here, we identified FOS-like antigen 1 (FOSL1) as a novel therapeutic target in GBM, particularly in patients with resistance to conventional drugs, including temozolomide (TMZ). FOSL1 gene was identified from the DepMap database as a potential mediator of TMZ resistance in GBM and found to be associated with chemoresistance molecular signatures and poor clinical outcomes. Functional analyses in GBM cells revealed that FOSL1 suppression enhanced apoptosis, induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and reduced both cell migration and stemness marker expression. Transcriptomic profiling, including single-cell RNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq, highlighted the pivotal role of the interleukin-6 (IL-6)/STAT3 signaling pathway in FOSL1-mediated stemness. Mechanistically, in vitro experiments demonstrated that FOSL1 induces GBM stemness through IL-6-pSTAT3
