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 an aggressive brain tumor that inevitably recurs after chemoradiotherapy, resulting in poor patient outcomes. Given GBM's cellular heterogeneity, we hypothesized that radiation induces sub-population specific alterations to survive and adapt to radiation stress. We performed integrated single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses in Glioma Stem-Like Cultures three hours after they were exposed to clinically relevant radiation doses. Radiation reshaped the cellular landscape, altering both cell type composition and GBM subtype distribution. Cluster-specific and shared transcriptional programs were induced in a dose-dependent manner, with differentially expressed genes enriching distinct biological pathways. Chromatin accessibility analyses revealed parallel cluster-specific remodeling, with both opening and closing of regulatory elements linked to functional pathway shifts. Notably, 2 Gy and 6 Gy exposures elicited conserved transcriptional profiles in RNA clusters across different radiation doses. Together, these results highlight immediate radiation-induced transcriptional and chromatin remodeling programs in GBM at single-cell resolution and identify conserved cluster-specific adaptations that may underlie therapeutic resistance.
