Optimization of Intra-Arterial Administration of Chemotherapeutic Agents for Glioblastoma in the F98-Fischer Glioma-Bearing Rat Model.

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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a difficult disease to treat for different reasons, with the blood-brain barrier (BBB) preventing therapeutic drugs from reaching the tumor being one major hurdle. The median overall survival is only 14.6 months after the standard first line of treatment. At relapse, there is no recognized standard second-line treatment. Our team uses intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy as a means to bypass the BBB, hence achieving an overall median survival of 25 months. However, most patients eventually fail the treatment and progress. This is why we wish to expand our portfolio of options in terms of chemotherapy agents available for IA administration. In this study, we tested topotecan, cytarabine, and new formulations of carboplatin and paclitaxel by IA administration in the F98-Fischer glioma-bearing rat model as a screening tool for identifying potential candidate drugs. The topotecan IA group showed increased survival compared to the intravenous (IV) group (29.0 vs. 23.5), whereas the IV cytarabine group survived longer than the IA group (26.5 vs. 22.5). The new formulation of carboplatin showed a significant increase in survival compared to two previous studies with the conventional form (37.5 vs. 26.0 and 30.0). As for paclitaxel, it was too neurotoxic for IA administration. Topotecan and the new formulation of carboplatin demonstrated significant results, warranting their transition for consideration in clinical trials.
