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

introductionRecent studies have suggested that dysregulated Hippo pathway signaling may contribute to glioblastoma proliferation and invasive characteristics. The downstream effector of the pathway, the Yes-associated protein (YAP) oncoprotein, has emerged as a promising target in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

methodsUtilizing a high-throughput yeast two-hybrid based screen, a small molecule was identified which inhibits the association of the co-transcriptional activator YAP1 and the TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD1) transcription factor protein-protein interaction interface. This candidate inhibitor, NSC682769, a novel benzazepine compound, was evaluated for its ability to affect Hippo/YAP axis signaling and potential anti-glioblastoma properties.

resultsNSC682769 potently blocked association of YAP and TEAD in vitro and in GBM cells treated with submicromolar concentrations. Moreover, inhibitor-coupled bead pull down and surface plasmon resonance analyses demonstrate that NSC682769 binds to YAP. NSC682769 treatment of GBM lines and patient derived cells resulted in downregulation of YAP expression levels resulting in curtailed YAP-TEAD transcriptional activity. In GBM cell models, NSC682769 inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasiveness and enhanced apoptosis. In tumor xenograft and genetically engineered mouse models, NSC682769 exhibited marked anti-tumor responses and resulted in increased overall survival and displayed significant blood-brain barrier penetration.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that blockade of YAP-TEAD association is a viable therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma. On the basis of these favorable preclinical studies further clinical studies are warranted.
