Blockade of transforming growth factor-β signaling enhances oncolytic herpes simplex virus efficacy in patient-derived recurrent glioblastoma models.
Article in International journal of cancer, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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
Despite the current standard of multimodal management, glioblastoma (GBM) inevitably recurs and effective therapy is not available for recurrent disease. A subset of tumor cells with stem-like properties, termed GBM stem-like cells (GSCs), are considered to play a role in tumor relapse. Although oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) is a promising therapeutic for GBM, its efficacy against recurrent GBM is incompletely characterized. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) plays vital roles in maintaining GSC stemness and GBM pathogenesis. We hypothesized that oHSV and TGF-β inhibitors would synergistically exert antitumor effects for recurrent GBM. Here we established a panel of patient-derived recurrent tumor models from GBMs that relapsed after postsurgical radiation and chemotherapy, based on GSC-enriched tumor sphere cultures. These GSCs are resistant to the standard-of-care temozolomide but susceptible to oHSVs G47Δ and MG18L. Inhibition of TGF-β receptor kinase with selective targeted small molecules reduced clonogenic sphere formation in all tested recurrent GSCs. The combination of oHSV and TGF-βR inhibitor was synergistic in killing recurrent GSCs through, in part, an inhibitor-induced JNK-MAPK blockade and increase in oHSV replication. In vivo, systemic treatment with TGF-βR inhibitor greatly enhanced the antitumor effects of single intratumoral oHSV injections, resulting in cures in 60% of mice bearing orthotopic recurrent GBM. These results reveal a novel synergistic interaction of oHSV therapy and TGF-β signaling blockade, and warrant further investigations aimed at clinical translation of this combination strategy for GBM patients.
