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, IDH-wildtype (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, with a median overall survival of 15-18 months. New therapeutic targets are needed to improve patients' prognosis. Due to their powerful regulatory capabilities, miRNAs could be possible candidate targets. MiR-126 is considered a tumor suppressor in several cancers, including GBM. In a previous study, we found that the infiltrative shift observed in response to bevacizumab in a GBM mouse model, induced a high miR-126 downregulation, confirming its tumor-suppressor function, exerted by inhibiting growth and angiogenesis. Here, we either stably restored miR-126 expression in GBM stem-like cells by transduction or transiently delivered it through an A40s aptamer-based conjugate. Both interventions led to an overall impairment of tumorigenic properties. Notably,
