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

Introduction: Tumor hypoxia is a feature of many solid malignancies and is known to cause radio resistance. In recent years it has become clear that hypoxic tumor regions also foster an immunosuppressive phenotype and are involved in immunotherapy resistance. It has been proposed that reducing the tumors' oxygen consumption will result in an increased oxygen concentration in the tissue and improve radio- and immunotherapy efficacy. The aim of this study is to investigate the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells by pharmacological attenuation of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and subsequently reduce tumor hypoxia. Material and methods: The metabolic effects of three OXPHOS inhibitors IACS-010759, atovaquone and metformin were explored by measuring oxygen consumption rate, extra cellular acidification rate, and [ Results: Discussion: These results show that inhibition of OXPHOS causes a metabolic shift from OXPHOS towards increased glycolysis in 2D and 3D cell culture. Moreover, inhibition of OXPHOS reduces diffusion limited hypoxia in 3D cell culture and murine tumor models. Reduced hypoxia by OXPHOS inhibition might enhance therapy efficacy in future studies. However, caution is warranted as systemic metabolic rewiring can cause adverse effects.
