In Vitro Sonodynamic Therapy Using a High Throughput 3D Glioblastoma Spheroid Model with 5-ALA and TMZ Sonosensitizers.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) administered using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and sonosensitizers is an emerging, minimally invasive, targeted deep-tissue therapy for solid tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Initial clinical trials show promising outcomes for SDT treatments of GBM. A crucial aspect of SDT is the sonosensitizer that interacts with ultrasound, facilitating energy transfer to the tumor, thus inducing therapeutic efficacy. Current in vitro methods for determining the therapeutic efficacies of sonosensitizers are time-consuming and expensive. A novel high-throughput magnetically printed 3D GBM model is used to overcome this challenge. The hypothesis is that the use of two sonosensitizers, one a chemotherapeutic drug, enhances SDT efficacy through their additive chemical interactions. The GBM model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of two sonosensitizer molecules, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and theU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved chemotherapeutic drug Temozolomide (TMZ). It is confirmed that implement high-throughput GBM models to evaluate sonosensitizer combinations and their efficacies is feasible and, for the first time, show that the combined effect of both sensitizers, 5-ALA and TMZ, is superior for preventing spheroid growth than employing each molecule separately. This finding is relevant for future clinical trials of GBM treatment with SDT.
