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

Tumor microenvironments (TME) play a crucial role in the formation, progression, and drug resistance of many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). Microglia are the resident innate immune cells of the central nervous system and are associated with brain cancers like GBM. However, there are limited studies about the specific effects that microglia have on GBM tumors. One possible way to reduce GBM tumor progression is by targeting key signaling pathways in microglia, such as the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, which has been implicated in both microglia/macrophage phenotype polarization and in brain cancers like GBM. Therefore, this study aimed to produce a p65fl/fl/CX3CR1creER/+ mouse model, an inducible p65 knockout mouse model to be used for studying how inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling in microglia affects GBM tumors. Following tamoxifen administration to the mouse, p65, a transcription factor of the canonical NF-κB pathway, should be deleted in microglia due to activation of a Cre recombinase (creER) under the control of the CX3CR1 promoter. This mouse model was characterized to determine whether the
