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

Radiotherapy remains a cornerstone in glioma treatment, yet its efficacy is significantly hindered by tumor heterogeneity and molecularly driven radioresistance. This review systematically delineates molecular biomarkers that influence radiotherapy outcomes, categorizing them into radiosensitivity (e.g., IDH1 mutations, MGMT promoter methylation, TIM-3) and radioresistance (e.g., CD133, CD44, PRMT1, CSF-1R,RAD51,HMGB2). Mechanistically, radiosensitivity is governed by DNA repair fidelity (MGMT), ferroptosis suppression (PRMT1), and immune modulation (TIM-3/TAMs). Radioresistance arises from cancer stem cell maintenance (CD133/HMGB2), TAM polarization (CSF-1R/CD44), and enhanced homologous recombination (RAD51). Integrating molecular stratification into radiotherapy paradigms demonstrates clinical utility: MGMT methylation permits radiation dose de-escalation (52-54 Gy vs. 60 Gy) without compromising survival (32 vs. 25 months), while TIM-3 expression predicts responsiveness to combinatorial immunotherapy. A multi-omics AI model combining radiomics, dosiomics, and clinical data to predict radiotherapy response in glioma. Using a support vector machine trained on 176 patients, the fused model achieved an AUC of 0.728(95% CI:0.717-0.739) in validation, outperforming single-modality approaches. These advances underscore the transformative potential of biomarker-guided precision radiotherapy, enabling tailored interventions that counteract resistance mechanisms and synergize with immunotherapies. By bridging molecular insights with clinical innovation, this paradigm shift promises to redefine glioma management, offering renewed hope for overcoming therapeutic recalcitrance in this devastating malignancy.
