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

Malignant primary brain tumors remain among the most difficult cancers to treat, in particular, Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the deadliest brain tumor. The standard therapies currently used are not efficient enough in improving patients' survival and quality of life. Cisplatin (CDDP), a platinum-based drug, has shown efficacy against different solid neoplasms, but it is also associated to different forms of off-target toxicity. To overcome the limitation in the use of CDDP in the treatment of GBM patients, fourth generation platinum compounds are been synthesized, one of them is the Pt(IV)Ac-POA, a prodrug with a medium-chain fatty acid as axial ligand, which acts as a histone 3 deacetylase inhibitor. Moreover, recently, the antioxidant effects of medicinal mushrooms have been shown to induce a lowering of the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs, inducing greater therapeutic efficiency, thus the combined therapy of chemotherapy and micotherapy could be helpful in the treatment of GBM reducing the adverse effects of the former thanks to phytotherapy's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antitumoral activities. Here, through immunoblotting, ultrastructural and immunofluorescence analysis, we evaluated the contribution in the activation of different cell death pathway of Micotherapy U-Care, a medicinal blend supplement, used together with platinum-based compounds on human glioblastoma U251 cells.
