High-throughput screening of FDA-approved drugs identifies colchicine as a potential therapeutic agent for atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs).
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare and aggressive tumor of the primary central nervous system primarily affecting children. It typically originates in the cerebellum and brain stem and is associated with a low survival rate. While standard chemotherapy has been used as a primary treatment for AT/RTs, its success rate is unsatisfactory, and patients often experience severe side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new and effective treatment strategies. One promising approach for identifying new therapies is drug repurposing. Although many FDA-approved drugs have been repurposed for various cancers, there have been no reports of such applications for AT/RTs. In this study, a library of 2130 FDA-approved drugs was screened using a high-throughput screening system against 2D traditional cultures and 3D spheroid cultures of AT/RT cell lines (BT-12 and BT-16). From this screening, colchicine, a non-chemotherapeutic agent, was identified as a promising candidate. It exhibited IC
