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 are characterized by neurodegenerative actions leading to the destruction of surrounding brain parenchyma. The disturbance in glutamate homeostasis caused by increased expression of the glutamate transporter xCT plays a key role in glioma progression. We demonstrate that the HDAC-inhibitor SAHA specifically inhibits the xCT-transporter expression. Thereby, tumor cell stress is engendered, marked by increase in ROS. Moreover, SAHA dependent xCT-reduction correlates with the inhibition of ATF4-expression, a factor known to foster xCT expression. Since xCT/system Xc- is pivotal for the brain tumor microenvironment, normalization of this system is a key in the management of malignant gliomas. To date, the problem lay in the inability to specifically target xCT due to the ubiquitous expression of the xCT-transporter--i.e. in non-cancerously transformed cells too--as well as its essential role in physiological CNS processes. Here, we show xCT-transporter equilibration through SAHA is specific for malignant brain tumors whereas SAHA does not affect the physiological xCT levels in healthy brain parenchyma. Our data indicate that SAHA operates on gliomas specifically via normalizing xCT expression which in consequence leads to reduced extracellular glutamate levels. This in turn causes a marked reduction in neuronal cell death and normalized tumor microenvironment.
