ATP-responsive mitochondrial probes for monitoring metabolic processes of glioma stem cells in a 3D model.
Article in Chemical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The metastatic cascade of cancer stem cells (CSCs) is always accompanied by elevated levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as well as the alterntion of energy metabolism to support their differentiation and migration. Here we propose a 3D microfluidic tumor model coupled with an ATP-responsive mitochondrial probe (AMP) for investigation of metabolic processes of glioma stem cells (GSCs). The 3D tumor model has a middle matrix gel microchannel mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is sandwiched between a GSC culture chamber and a stimulation chamber. The AMPs consist of structure-switching ATP aptamers and triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-conjugated peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). Under TGF-β stimulation, invasive migration of GSCs accompanied by a high ATP level and spindle mesenchymal morphologies is observed due to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, acidic stress can keep GSCs in a low-energy state, while long-term low pH stimulation screens out more malignant glioma cells. This AMP-assisted 3D microfluidic tumor model provides a tremendous opportunity for studying the biological properties of CSCs.
