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

objectivesTo investigate whether neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) markers, activation of the integrated stress response (ISR), and TRAIL pathway alter neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cell death and ONC201 sensitivity.

methodsWe conducted cell viability assays to determine ONC201 sensitivity. Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate NED, ISR, and TRAIL pathway markers. Expression levels of NED markers were compared between cell lines with and without BRN2 overexpression.

resultsProstate cancer (PCa) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines (N = 6) were sensitive to ONC201. Endogenous NET marker levels varied across PCa and SCLC cells. Transient BRN2 overexpression slightly reduced some NET markers while maintaining the sensitivity of PCa cells to ONC201.

conclusionsPCa cell lines exhibit sensitivity to ONC201, with variability of NED features. These findings are relevant to the design of future studies evaluating imipridone efficacy in PCa and suggest that non-NET patients could be included in such studies.
