Proof of Concept of the Radiosensitizing Effect of Gadolinium Oxide Nanoparticles in Cell Spheroids and a Tumor-Implanted Murine Model of Chondrosarcoma.
Trial report in International journal of nanomedicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Purpose: Chondrosarcomas (CHSs), which represent 20% of primary bone tumors in adults, are mostly resistant to radio- and chemotherapy. It is therefore essential that new therapeutic approaches, targeted to the tumour, be developed to improve the prognosis of patients. The effectiveness, as a radiosensitizing agent, of gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (GdoNP, AGuIX Methods: Spheroids from SW1353 and HEMC-SS cells were characterized by confocal microscopy with or without GdoNP treatment. Real-time microscopy enabled quantification of cell viability, cell migration and invasion. In vivo, the efficacy of the association of GdoNP combined with a single (4Gy) or fractionated (4x1Gy) irradiation was evaluated in HEMC-SS tumor-bearing mice by monitoring tumor growth, mouse survival and gene expression profile. Results: The expression of proteoglycans in the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) of spheroids demonstrated the relevance of the 3-D model. The combination of GdoNP with single or fractionated irradiation increased the lethal effects of irradiation on 2-D- and 3-D-cultured cells. In vivo, a single or a fractionated dose of 4 Gy associated with IT or IV injection of GdoNP decreased tumor growth significantly. Only IT injection increased mice survival. Unexpectedly, the radiosensitizing effect of GdoNP was associated, in vitro, with a significant decrease in invasion-migration capacities and, in vivo, with the decreased expression of PTX3, a protein involved in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process, suggesting a potential impact of GdoNP on metastasis formation. Conclusion: These results provide the first proof of concept of the radiosensitizing effect of GdoNP in CHSs and opened the way for a multicentre, randomized Phase 2 trial evaluating the association of GdoNP with radiotherapy for the therapeutic management of patients with symptomatic inoperable musculoskeletal tumor lesions.
