Epigenetic modifiers either individually or in specific combinations impair viability of patient-derived glioblastoma cell line while exhibit moderate effect on normal stem cells growth.

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
Glioblastomas (GBM), also known as glioblastoma multiforme, are the most aggressive type of brain cancer. Currently, there is no effective treatment for GBM, highlighting the pressing need for new therapeutic strategies. In a recent study, we demonstrated that specific combinations of epigenetic modifiers significantly affect the metabolism and proliferation rate of the two most aggressive GBM cell lines, D54 and U-87. Importantly, these combinations exhibited minimal effects on the growth of normal stem cells. In this study, we extended our investigation to include a patient-derived GBM stem cell line. Our results showed that the combinations of modulators of histone and DNA covalent modifying enzymes that synergistically suppress D54 and U87 cell line growth also impair the viability of the patient-derived GBM stem cell line. These findings suggest that epigenetic modifiers alone or in specific combinations exhibit a cytotoxic effect on established and low-passage patient-derived GBM cell lines, and thus could be a promising therapeutic approach for this type of brain cancer.
