ROS Overproduction Sensitises Myeloma Cells to Bortezomib-Induced Apoptosis and Alleviates Tumour Microenvironment-Mediated Cell Resistance.
Article in Cells, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm that remains incurable due to innate or acquired resistance. Although MM cells produce high intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), we hypothesised that they could remain sensitive to ROS unbalance. We tested if the inhibition of ROS, on one hand, or the overproduction of ROS, on the other, could (re)sensitise cells to bortezomib (BTZ). Two drugs were used in a panel of MM cell lines with various responses to BTZ: VAS3947 (VAS), an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase and auranofin (AUR), an inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD1), an antioxidant enzyme overexpressed in MM cells. We used several culture models: in suspension, on a fibronectin layer, in coculture with HS-5 mesenchymal cells, and/or in 3-D culture (or spheroids) to study the response of MM primary cells and cell lines. Several MM cell lines were sensitive to VAS but the combination with BTZ showed antagonistic or additive effects at best. By contrast, in all culture systems studied, the combined AUR/BTZ treatment showed synergistic effects on cell lines, including those less sensitive to BTZ and primary cells. MM cell death is due to the activation of apoptosis and autophagy. Modulating the redox balance of MM cells could be an effective therapy for refractory or relapse post-BTZ patients.
