Engineering polysaccharide nanoplatforms for glioblastoma theranostics: Bridging targeted therapy and advanced imaging.
Review in Theranostics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor characterized by limited therapeutic efficacy and challenges in accurate imaging, largely due to its invasive growth, drug resistance, and the restrictive blood-brain barrier (BBB) hindering the delivery of both therapeutic and diagnostic agents. Current GBM treatments and imaging approaches often suffer from insufficient agent penetration into the tumor. Additionally, they frequently exhibit toxicity or poor signal-to-noise ratios. Polysaccharide (PSC)-based polymers, with their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatile chemical modifiability, offer a promising platform to overcome these limitations. These natural polymers can be engineered into sophisticated nanocarriers that enhance BBB traversal, enable targeted tumor accumulation of therapeutic payloads and imaging agents Furthermore, they facilitate controlled drug release and improve diagnostic signal generation. Consequently, PSC-based systems can improve therapeutic efficacy and enhance diagnostic accuracy for tumor visualization. Furthermore, they reduce systemic side effects and support multimodal strategies, ranging from single-modality interventions to integrated theranostic systems. This review aims to comprehensively discuss recent advancements, current challenges, and future perspectives of PSC-based nanomedicines in GBM therapy and imaging.
