Genome scale CRISPR Cas9a knockout screen reveals genes that control glioblastoma susceptibility to the alkylating agent temozolomide.
Article in All life, 2022. 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
Glioblastoma is the most fatal of all primary human brain tumors with 14 months median survival. The mainstay therapy for this tumor involves temozolomide, surgery, radiotherapy and tumor treating electric field. Cancer resistance to commonly available chemotherapeutics remains a major challenge in glioblastoma patients receiving treatment and unfavorably impact their overall survival and outcome. However, the lack of progress in this area could be attributed to lack of tools to probe unbiasedly at the genome wide level the coding and non-coding elements contribution on a large scale for factors that control resistance to chemotherapeutics. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapeutics will enable precision medicine in the treatment of cancer patients. CRISPR Cas9a has emerged as a functional genomics tool to study at genome level the factors that control cancer resistance to drugs. Recently, we used genome wide CRISPR-Cas9a screen to identify genes responsible for glioblastoma susceptibility to etoposide. We extended our inquiry to understand genes that control glioblastoma response to temozolomide by using genome scale CRISPR. This study shows that the unbiased genome-wide loss of function approach can be applied to discover genes that influence tumor resistance to chemotherapeutics and contribute to chemoresistance in glioblastoma.
