Correlation of hypoxia status with radiosensitizing effects of sodium glycididazole: A preclinical study.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The correlation of pretreatment hypoxia status with the radiosensitization effect of sodium glycididazole (CMNa) was not previously defined. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the tumor hypoxia status in various cancer xenografts and to investigate the correlation between tumor hypoxia status and radiosensitizing effects of CMNa based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. Human esophageal cancer (EC109), head and neck cancer (FaDu) and lung cancer (A549) nude mice xenografts were used. The concentrations of CMNa and its metabolites in the tumors and normal tissues were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography following intravenous injection of 171.9, 57.3 or 19.1 mg/kg CMNa. The tumors were irradiated with 30 Gy in 6 fractions with CMNa administration prior to each irradiation. The tumor growth delay values were calculated for each treatment group and compared with groups treated with radiation alone. Tumor hypoxia status was verified by immunohistostaining of tissues for hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) staining, and the concentration of plasma osteopontin (OPN) was determined using ELISA. The correlation between OPN concentration and tumor growth delay was subsequently analyzed. It was observed that the drug concentration in the tumor was 1.6-2.8 times higher compared with adjacent muscle, particularly at high and medium doses. CMNa was able to sensitize tumors to irradiation, particularly for EC109 and FaDu xenografts at high dose (P<0.05). Furthermore, there was markedly increased expression of HIF-1α and plasma OPN levels in FaDu and EC109 xenografts compared with A549. Additionally, it was indicated that pretreatment hypoxia status might be correlated with the radiosensitizing effects of CMNa. The present data demonstrated that tumor hypoxia status might be correlated with the radiosensitizing effects of CMNa in different tumor models.
