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

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) can potentially deliver high linear energy transfer particles to tumor cells without causing severe damage to surrounding normal tissue, and may thus be beneficial for cases with characteristics of infiltrative growth, which need a wider irradiation field, such as glioblastoma multiforme. Hypoxia is an important factor contributing to resistance to anticancer therapies such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In this study, we investigated the impact of oxygen status on 10B uptake in glioblastoma cells in vitro in order to evaluate the potential impact of local hypoxia on BNCT. T98G and A172 glioblastoma cells were used in the present study, and we examined the influence of oxygen concentration on cell viability, mRNA expression of L-amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), and the uptake amount of 10B-BPA. T98G and A172 glioblastoma cells became quiescent after 72 h under 1% hypoxia but remained viable. Uptake of 10B-BPA, which is one of the agents for BNCT in clinical use, decreased linearly as oxygen levels were reduced from 20% through to 10%, 3% and 1%. Hypoxia with <10% O2 significantly decreased mRNA expression of LAT1 in both cell lines, indicating that reduced uptake of 10B-BPA in glioblastoma in hypoxic conditions may be due to reduced expression of this important transporter protein. Hypoxia inhibits 10B-BPA uptake in glioblastoma cells in a linear fashion, meaning that approaches to overcoming local tumor hypoxia may be an effective method of improving the success of BNCT treatment.
