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

Glioblastoma (GBM) has a dismal median survival of 15 months owing to therapy resistance and inevitable recurrence. Using our cellular models of GBM radiation resistance, we had shown that GBM recurrence is due to survival and proliferation of residual disease cells enriched in multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs). However, MNGC division mechanism remained elusive. Here, using live-cell imaging we found daughter cells emerge from MNGCs by cytoplasmic pinching. Lack of DNA condensation, absence of spindle poles and acto-myosin contractile ring in dividing-MNGCs confirmed non-mitotic division of MNGCs. Furthermore, MNGCs harboured DNA damage, senescence phenotype, repeated atypical division after radiation exposure, characteristics of unconventional division called 'Neosis'. Molecularly, WGCNA co-expression network analysis of RNA-Sequencing from parent, non-dividing MNGCs and dividing-MNGCs identified significantly high expression of aurora kinases (AurA and AurB) specifically in dividing-MNGCs. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of aurora kinases abrogated MNGC neosis, preventing GBM recurrence in vitro and in vivo in an orthotopic GBM mouse model. Together, this study demonstrates that MNGCs divide by neosis, an atypical division mediated by AurA and AurB and identify aurora kinases as a potential molecular target to inhibit neosis and prevent GBM recurrence.
