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 multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor with a 5-year survival rate of 7%. Previous studies have shown that GBM tumors have a reduced capacity to produce cholesterol and instead depend on the uptake of cholesterol produced by astrocytes. To target cholesterol metabolism to induce cancer cell death, synthetic high-density lipoprotein (sHDL) nanodiscs delivering Liver-X-Receptor (LXR) agonists and CpG oligonucleotides for targeting GBM are investigated. LXR agonists synergize with sHDL nanodiscs by increasing the expression of the ABCA1 cholesterol efflux transporter, resulting in further depletion of cholesterol reserves within tumors, and CpG oligonucleotides are established adjuvants used in cancer immunotherapy that work through the toll-like receptor 9 pathway. In the present study, treatment with GW-CpG-sHDL nanodiscs increases the expression of cholesterol efflux transporters on murine GL261 cells leading to enhanced cholesterol removal. Experiments in GL261-tumor-bearing mice reveal combining GW-CpG-sHDL nanodiscs with radiation (IR) therapy significantly increases median survival compared to GW-CpG-sHDL or IR alone. Furthermore, 66% of long-term survivors from the GW-CpG-sHDL +IR treatment group show no tumor tissue when rechallenged.
