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

Ganglioside GM3, a fundamental glycosphingolipid on the mammalian cell surface, is a key regulator of transmembrane signaling and cellular recognition. In oncology, GM3 acts as a tumor suppressor by modulating the activity of various receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and their downstream pathways. Recent studies highlight its function in the tumor microenvironment (TME), specifically its ability to impede pathological angiogenesis. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which GM3 interferes with pro-angiogenic signaling, such as the VEGF/VEGFR axis, and discusses how this inhibition can be used for therapy. We explore the clinical potential of GM3-based strategies, including monoclonal antibodies and cancer vaccines, discussing the potential of targeting GM3 to reshape the TME and suppress tumor-associated vascularization.
