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

Glioblastoma (GBM) heterogeneity limits the efficacy of EGFR-targeted therapies. Here, we present a spatially stratified single-cell atlas of IDH-wildtype GBM to dissect the impact of EGFR amplification on tumor architecture. We demonstrate that EGFR amplification disrupts the spatial coupling between evolutionary state and anatomical location, resulting in premature acquisition of invasive phenotypes-a phenomenon we term "accelerated evolutionary velocity." Unlike nonamplified tumors which maintain a strict "Core-to-Margin" developmental gradient, malignant cells in EGFR-amplified tumors acquire invasive mesenchymal traits preemptively regardless of their spatial niche. This accelerated evolution parallels the Core behaving as a "genotoxic stress reservoir" characterized by elevated chromosomal instability (CIN) (
