Phase 1 LITESPARK-001 study of belzutifan in participants with advanced solid tumors: Results of the glioblastoma expansion cohort.
Article in Neuro-oncology advances. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Recurrent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma has no established standard-of-care treatment. Preclinical models have demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) contributes to stabilizing the hypoxic environment in glioblastoma. It was thus hypothesized that the first-in-class HIF-2α inhibitor, belzutifan, may improve outcomes in patients with recurrent IDH wild-type glioblastoma. The glioblastoma cohort of the phase 1 LITESPARK-001 trial enrolled participants who had received radiotherapy and temozolomide. Although targeting HIF-2α may have a role in advancing treatment options for patients with glioblastoma, single-agent belzutifan did not have antitumor activity in this cohort.
