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

purposeThe goal of the present study was to examine the safety and efficacy of the vascular disrupting agent (VDA) EPC2407 (Crolibulin™) in experimental glioma models using bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PROCEDURES: Experimental imaging studies were performed in subcutaneous human U87 glioma xenografts and orthotopic murine gliomas established by intracranial implantation of luciferase-transfected glioma cells (GL261-luc). Correlative histopathology and long-term survival analysis was also performed.

resultsTreatment with EPC2407 decreased tumor perfusion and increased necrosis and tumor doubling times in subcutaneous U87 xenografts. Dynamic BLI and T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI showed reduction in blood flow of intracranial GL261-luc gliomas within a few hours of VDA treatment. T2-weighted MRI did not show any evidence of hemorrhaging or edema in uninvolved brain tissue of EPC2407-treated animals. A significant increase in median survival (p < 0.05) was observed in the orthotopic GL261-luc model following VDA treatment compared to untreated controls.

conclusionsWe demonstrate, for the first time, the biological activity of EPC2407 in experimental gliomas. Further investigation into the potential of VDAs in combination with chemoradiation therapy against gliomas is warranted.
