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

Targeting necroptosis is considered a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer, including Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), one of the most lethal brain tumors. Necroptosis is a mechanism of programmed cell death overcoming the apoptosis resistance mechanism underlying GBM tumorigenesis and malignant progression. N6-isopentenyladenosine (iPA), adenosine modified with isoprenoid derivative, displays antitumor activity in different cancer models. In previous studies, we demonstrated that iPA interferes with EGFR signaling reducing glioma cell viability. Here, we show that iPA induces necroptosis in glioblastoma cell lines and in primary cells established from tumor explants, without affecting the viability of non-cancerous brain cell lines, (Normal Human Astrocyte). The activation of RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL and the upregulation of necrosome formation were increased upon iPA treatment while caspase-3, caspase-8, and PARP were not activated in GBM cells. Co-treatment with specific necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) or Necrosulfonamide (NSA) prevented cell death caused by iPA treatment while the general caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk) did not elicit any effect, suggesting that this molecule induces caspase-independent necroptosis. These results suggest that iPA treatment can be able to bypass the apoptosis resistance mechanism in glioblastoma thereby offering higher therapeutic efficacy.
