Glioblastoma Subtypes Exhibit Distinct Migration Mechanics and Immune Responses.
Article in Cancer research communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a deadly cancer driven in part by invasion of tumor cells into the brain. Transcriptomic analyses have identified distinct molecular subtypes, but mechanistic differences that account for clinical differences are not clear. In this study, we show that, as predicted by the motor-clutch model of cell migration, mesenchymal glioma cells are more spread, generate larger traction forces, and migrate faster in brain tissue compared with proneural cells. Despite their rapid migration and comparable proliferation rates in vitro, mice with mesenchymal tumors survive longer than those with proneural tumors. This improved survival correlated with an immune response in mesenchymal tumors, including T cell-mediated. Consistently, inducing mesenchymal tumors in immunodeficient mice resulted in shorter survival, supporting a protective immune role in mesenchymal tumors. Thus, mesenchymal tumors have aggressive migration but are immunologically "hot," which suppresses net proliferation. These two features counteract each other and may explain the lack of a strong survival difference between subtypes clinically, while also opening up new opportunities for subtype-specific therapies. SIGNIFICANCE: This study highlights new mechanical and immunologic insights into GBM molecular subtypes using an integrated modeling-genome engineering strategy, which can potentially facilitate GBM subtype-specific therapeutic strategies.
