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

backgroundRefractoriness of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) largely depends on its radioresistance. We investigated the radiosensitizing effects of celecoxib on GBM cell lines under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

methodsTwo human GBM cell lines, U87MG and U251MG, and a mouse GBM cell line, GL261, were treated with celecoxib or γ-irradiation either alone or in combination under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Radiosensitizing effects were analyzed by clonogenic survival assays and cell growth assays and by assessing apoptosis and autophagy. Expression of apoptosis-, autophagy-, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related genes was analyzed by immunoblotting.

resultsCelecoxib significantly enhanced the radiosensitivity of GBM cells under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In addition, combined treatment with celecoxib and γ-irradiation induced marked autophagy, particularly in hypoxic cells. The mechanism underlying the radiosensitizing effect of celecoxib was determined to be ER stress loading on GBM cells.

conclusionCelecoxib enhances the radiosensitivity of GBM cells by a mechanism that is different from cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition. Our results indicate that celecoxib may be a promising radiosensitizing drug for clinical use in patients with GBM.
