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

Malignant gliomas have a dismal prognosis despite multi-modality treatments like neurosurgical resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Evidence has indicated that gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and its receptor (GRPR) play a role in the development of a variety of cancers including gliomas. In the present study, we investigated the effects of RC-3095, a selective GRPR antagonist, alone or in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA alkylating agent, in in vitro and in vivo experimental rat C6 glioma models. Cellular proliferation was significantly reduced by all treatments with the combined administration of TMZ and RC-3095 being the most effective treatment. In in vivo experiments, the control group displayed the largest tumors (52 +/- 15.5 mm(3)), whereas RC-3095 reduced the tumor size, with the most significant effect at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg (21 +/- 9.7 mm(3)). The combined therapy produced further reduction in tumor size (10 +/- 7.5 mm(3)). Our results show that the combination of RC-3095 with TMZ produced an important reduction in in vitro and in vivo glioma growth therefore making RC-3095 a candidate drug to potentiate the effects of the DNA alkylating agent TMZ in the treatment of glioma.
