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 multiforme is a highly aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor in adults, with a poor prognosis and high recurrence rate driven by glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). The primary objective of this study is to design and characterize a novel multi-epitope vaccine, Gliostem-MultiVax, targeting GSC-specific antigens to overcome tumor recurrence and treatment resistance. These biomarkers are essential for tumor initiation, progression, resistance to standard treatments, and the recurrence of cancer. Six well-established GSC-specific markers (CD133, CD44, Sox2, Nestin, CD15, and Musashi-1) were selected as antigen sources. Using comprehensive immunoinformatic tools, CD8 + and CD4 + T-cell epitopes were predicted. The epitopes were linked with appropriate linkers and combined with the adjuvant Rv3628 to construct the multi-epitope vaccine. Physicochemical characteristics, population coverage, and 2D and 3D structures of the vaccine were analyzed. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to evaluate the interaction model of the vaccine-TLR2 complex. The immune simulation to evaluate the immunogenicity and in silico cloning of the designed vaccine were conducted. Nine CD8
