BIRC3/CAV1 co-expression drives GBM aggressiveness as a prognostic signature and therapeutic vulnerability.
Article in Cell death discovery, 2026. 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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable tumor where temozolomide (TMZ) resistance limits survival, even in MGMT-methylated patients. To improve stratification, we used NAD(P)H-FLIM to profile TMZ response in 35 patient-derived explants, integrating these data with transcriptomic and functional analyses. We identified BIRC3 and CAV1 upregulation in resistant tumors and investigated their parallel yet functionally cooperative role in driving an aggressive, therapy-resistant phenotype. In silico survival analyses demonstrated that BIRC3 and CAV1 act as independent prognostic factors whose additive, non-linear effects robustly stratify patient survival beyond MGMT status, defining a subgroup with <7% 24-month survival. Importantly, BIRC3/cIAP2-driven resistance proved targetable; the IAP antagonist AZD5582 restored TMZ sensitivity by unlocking the apoptotic execution phase, thereby inducing cell death in resistant GBM models in vitro and ex vivo. Our findings establish the BIRC3/CAV1 axis as a key prognostic signature and therapeutic vulnerability in GBM, offering a new path for precision oncology strategies.
