Temozolomide, Procarbazine and Nitrosoureas in the Therapy of Malignant Gliomas: Update of Mechanisms, Drug Resistance and Therapeutic Implications.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The genotoxic methylating agents temozolomide (TMZ) and procarbazine and the chloroethylating nitrosourea lomustine (CCNU) are part of the standard repertoire in the therapy of malignant gliomas (CNS WHO grade 3 and 4). This review describes the mechanisms of their cytotoxicity and cytostatic activity through apoptosis, necroptosis, drug-induced senescence, and autophagy, interaction of critical damage with radiation-induced lesions, mechanisms of glioblastoma resistance to alkylating agents, including the alkyltransferase MGMT, mismatch repair, DNA double-strand break repair and DNA damage responses, as well as IDH-1 and PARP-1. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors such as regorafenib, synthetic lethality using PARP inhibitors, and alternative therapies including tumor-treating fields (TTF) and CUSP9v3 are discussed in the context of alkylating drug therapy and overcoming glioblastoma chemoresistance. Recent studies have revealed that senescence is the main trait induced by TMZ in glioblastoma cells, exhibiting hereupon the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Strategies to eradicate therapy-induced senescence by means of senolytics as well as attenuating SASP by senomorphics are receiving increasing attention, with therapeutic implications to be discussed.
