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

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive primary brain tumors with local invasive growth and poor clinical prognosis in both adult and pediatric patients. Clinical response is compounded by resistance to standard frontline antineoplastic agents, an absence of novel therapeutics, and poor in vitro models to evaluate these. We screened a range of recently identified anticancer compounds in conventional adult, pediatric, and new biopsy-derived HGG models. These in vitro lines showed a range of sensitivity to standard chemotherapeutics, with varying expression levels of the prognostic markers hypoxia-induced factor (HIF) 1α and p53. Our evaluation of lead DIVERSet library compounds identified that JAG-6A, a compound that was significantly more potent than temozolomide or etoposide, was effective against HGG models in two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems; mediated this response by the potent inhibition of topoisomerase Iiα; remained effective under normoxic and hypoxic conditions; and displayed limited toxicity to non-neoplastic astrocytes. These data suggest that JAG-6A could be an alternative topoisomerase IIα inhibitor and used for the treatment of HGG.
