Mechanisms of imipridones in targeting mitochondrial metabolism in cancer cells.
Synthesis in Neuro-oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
ONC201 is the first member of the imipridone family of anticancer drugs to enter the clinic for the treatment of diverse solid and hematologic cancers. A subset of pediatric and adult patients with highly aggressive brain tumors has shown remarkable clinical responses to ONC201, and recently, the more potent derivative ONC206 entered clinical trials as a single agent for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) cancers. Despite the emerging clinical interest in the utility of imipridones, their exact molecular mechanisms are not fully described. In fact, the existing literature points to multiple pathways (e.g. tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) signaling, dopamine receptor antagonism, and mitochondrial metabolism) as putative drug targets. We have performed a comprehensive literature review and highlighted mitochondrial metabolism as the major target of imipridones. In support of this, we performed a meta-analysis of an ONC201 screen across 539 human cancer cell lines and showed that the mitochondrial caseinolytic protease proteolytic subunit (ClpP) is the most significant predictive biomarker of response to treatment. Herein, we summarize the main findings on the anticancer mechanisms of this potent class of drugs, provide clarity on their role, and identify clinically relevant predictive biomarkers of response.
