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) tumors are characterized by an excess of extracellular glutamate, one important source of which is the tumor cells themselves. This abundance of glutamate promotes GBM proliferation, migration, and therapeutic resistance, and causes excitotoxicity in nearby neurons. However, despite glutamate's clear role in promoting GBM aggression, the exact mechanisms through which excess glutamate drives these phenotypes, particularly three-dimensional (3D) invasion, remain incompletely understood. To address this gap, we used a 3D brain-mimetic hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel to investigate the role of glutamate signaling in GBM 3D invasion. We demonstrate that inhibiting the glutamate
