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

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the adult central nervous system, characterized by rapid growth, high recurrence rates, and limited response to standard treatments, with median survival under 15 months. The SIX transcription factor family has been implicated in tumor development, but the role and regulatory mechanism of SIX5 in glioblastoma (GBM) remain unclear. This study systematically investigates the biological function of SIX5 and its regulatory network in GBM. Differential expression and weighted gene co-expression network analyses of GSE4290 and GSE50161 datasets, combined with machine learning algorithms including LASSO, identified SIX5 as a core candidate gene. Functional enrichment analyses and evaluation using TCGA and UALCAN databases revealed that SIX5 is highly expressed in GBM and associated with poor prognosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics showed enrichment of SIX5 in the tumor core and in astrocyte-like and stem cell-like subsets at the invasion front.
