PARP Inhibitors Talazoparib and Niraparib Sensitize Melanoma Cells to Ionizing Radiation.
Article in Genes, 2021. 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
(1) Background: Niraparib and Talazoparib are poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1/2 inhibitors. It is assumed that combining PARP inhibitors with radiotherapy could be beneficial for cancer treatment. In this study, melanoma cells were treated with Niraparib and Talazoparib in combination with ionizing radiation (IR). (2) Methods: The effects of Talazoparib and Niraparib in combination with IR on cell death, clonogenicity and cell cycle arrest were studied in healthy primary fibroblasts and primary melanoma cells. (3) Results: The melanoma cells had a higher PARP1 and PARP2 content than the healthy fibroblasts, and further increased their PARP2 content after the combination therapy. PARP inhibitors both sensitized fibroblasts and melanoma cells to IR. A clear supra-additive effect of KI+IR treatment was detected in two melanoma cell lines analyzing the surviving fraction. The cell death rate increased in the healthy fibroblasts, but to a larger extent in melanoma cells after combined treatment. Finally, a lower percentage of cells in the radiosensitive G2/M phase is present in the healthy fibroblasts compared to the melanoma cells. (4) Conclusions: Both PARP inhibitors sensitize melanoma cells to IR. Healthy tissue seems to be less affected than melanoma cells. However, the great heterogeneity of the results suggests prior testing of the tumor cells in order to personalize the treatment.
