The glioma neuron symbiosis hypothesis-cellular and molecular mechanistic considerations.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A recent hypothesis suggests that glioma cells and neurons engage in a symbiotic relationships, where neurons tend to use lactate, produced in abundance by the cancer cells, instead of glucose. Consequently, the glucose conserved by neurons becomes accessible to glioma cells, which have a high demand for it. The present monograph further develops this hypothesis, weighing specific cellular and molecular processes in both cell types that allow for these symbiotic relationships. The potential roles in the postulated symbiosis of the glycolytic pathway, the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle, and its coupled oxidative phosphorylation, glucose and lactate transporters, the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, lactate signaling via its receptor, and lactylation, are all considered here. The aim is to provide a wider foundation with greater detail for a better understanding of the proposed symbiosis that could offer several possible experimental avenues to verify its validity.
