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

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is highly aggressive and prone to recurrence, resulting in extremely poor patient outcomes. Evidence suggests that dynamic regulation of the actin cytoskeleton plays a critical role in tumor cell proliferation, invasion, recurrence, and therapy resistance. However, the prognostic value and regulatory mechanisms of actin cytoskeleton-related genes in GBM remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key actin cytoskeleton related genes using machine learning, construct a robust gene signature for prognosis prediction, and explore its value in evaluating therapeutic response and underlying molecular mechanisms in GBM. Methods: Gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) were analyzed. Machine learning (ML) methods were used to identify key actin cytoskeleton-related genes and construct a gene signature. Immune profiling and multi-omics analyses were further applied to explore potential regulatory mechanisms. Results: Seven key genes- Conclusions: The actin cytoskeleton-based gene signature serves as an independent indicator of poor prognosis and may support precise prognostic assessment and personalized therapeutic strategies for GBM.
