TAK1 Inhibitor Enhances the Therapeutic Treatment for Glioblastoma.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a brain tumor characterized by poor therapeutic response and overall survival. Despite relevant progress in conventional treatments represented by the clinical use of temozolomide (TMZ), a combination of approaches might be a possible future direction for treating GBM. Transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase-1 (TAK1) is an essential component in genotoxic stresses-induced NF-κB-activation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-pathways; however, the role of TAK1 in GBM-chemoresistance remains unknown. This study aimed to verify, in GBM human cell lines, in an in vivo U87-xenograft model and in TMZ-treated-patients, the effect of TAK1 inhibition on the sensitivity of GBM cells to chemotherapy. In vitro model, using GBM cell lines, showed that 5Z-7-oxozeaenol augmented the cytotoxic effects of TMZ, blocking TMZ-induced NF-κB-activation, reducing DNA-damage and enhancing TMZ-induced apoptosis in GMB cell lines. We showed a reduction in tumor burden as well as tumor volume in the xenograft model following the treatment with 5Z-7-oxozaenol associated with TMZ. Our results showed a significant up-regulation in TAK1, p-p38, p-JNK and NF-κB in glioblastoma TMZ-treated-patients and denoted the role of 5Z-7-oxozeaenol in increasing the sensitivity of GBM cells to chemotherapy, proving to be an effective coadjuvant to current GBM chemotherapeutic regimens, suggesting a new option for therapeutic treatment of GBM.
