The Role of Blood-Brain Barrier in Brain Cancer: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutic Approaches.
Review in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Brain tumors remain among the most lethal cancers, in part due to the limited ability of therapeutic agents to reach malignant cells protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This specialized vascular interface preserves neural homeostasis through several mechanisms and different elements. In brain malignancies, the barrier may be disrupted, remodeled, or remain largely intact depending on tumor type, leading to highly variable effects on different therapeutic approaches. These challenges have driven the development of innovative delivery strategies, including molecular engineering, nanocarriers, receptor-mediated transport systems, focused ultrasound, and direct regional administration. Understanding BBB biology and its tumor-specific alterations is essential for designing effective therapeutic approaches capable of improving outcomes in brain cancer. Recent studies showed promising results with different approaches, including pharmacological approaches, nanotechnology-based approaches, physical disruption techniques, biological and cellular approaches, and convection-enhanced delivery. This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of BBB in brain cancer, and reviews emerging strategies to overcome this barrier and enable effective brain cancer therapy.
