Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor Acetazolamide Enhances CHOP Treatment Response and Stimulates Effector T-Cell Infiltration in A20/BalbC Murine B-Cell Lymphoma.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. 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 inhibition of cancer-related carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity is a promising way to intensify anti-tumor responses. In vitro data suggest improved efficacy of cytotoxic drugs in combination with CA-inhibitors in several cancer types. Despite accumulating data on CA-expression, experimental or clinical studies towards B-cell lymphoma therapy are missing. We therefore decided to test the effect of the CA-inhibitor acetazolamide (AA) on the conventional CHOP treatment regimen using the A20/BalbC in vivo syngeneic mouse lymphoma model. Tumor growth characteristics, 18F-MISO-PET activity, histomorphology, cell proliferation, and T-cell immune infiltrate were determined following single or multiple dose combinations. All results point to a significant increase in the anti-tumor effect of CHOP+AA combinations compared with the untreated controls or with the single CHOP or AA treatments. CD3+ and CD8+ T-cell immune infiltrate increased 3-4 times following CHOP+AA combination compared with the classical CHOP protocol. In conclusion, CA-inhibitor AA seems to act synergistically with the anti-tumor treatment CHOP in aggressive lymphoma. Further to a cytotoxic effect, AA and other more selective blockers potentially support tumor-associated immune responses through the modification of the microenvironment. Therefore, CA-inhibitors are promising candidates as adjuvants in support of specific immunotherapies in lymphoma and other malignancies.
