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 tumor with limited therapeutic options. Zika virus (ZIKV) has demonstrated activity against GBM; however, the cellular pathways behind this interaction remain unclear. We systematically reviewed open-access primary studies assessing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GBM models infected with wild-type or engineered ZIKV using transcriptomic approaches (inclusion criteria); reviews, restricted-access studies, commentaries, preprints, abstracts, and articles lacking data or not meeting these conditions were excluded (PROSPERO CRD420251077092). We performed a pathway analysis of reported DEGs. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched up to 5 March 2025; 139 records were identified and 5 met the eligibility criteria. Risk of bias was evaluated using an adapted ToxRTool for in vitro experiments and the SYRCLE RoB tool for in vivo models. Altogether, 4360 genes were reported as upregulated and 2072 as downregulated; 12 genes (
