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) is the most formidable malignancy in the brain, characterized by a significant resistance to treatment. The immune targeting of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) holds great promise. In this study, structural modifications of the lead compound clofoctol is conducted and structure-activity relationship analyses are performed against GBM, yielding a novel blood-brain barrier-permeable compound, B7, featuring a pivotal multi-substituted diaryl scaffold. B7 demonstrates potent anti-GBM effects, significantly inhibiting GSC proliferation, migration, and invasion. Notably, B7 inhibits tumor progression, specifically bolstered natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and mitigates the immunosuppressive microenvironment in intracranial xenograft mice implanted with GBM cells and GSCs, as well as in cocultures of GSCs and NK-92 cells. Mechanistically, these anti-GBM effects of B7 are abolished by overexpression of poliovirus receptor cell adhesion molecule (CD155), both in vitro and in vivo. Further exploration reveals that B7 targets CD155 via interaction at five crucial binding sites, namely, L47, L108, L142, M110, and V115 residues. These interactions collectively contribute to the hydrophobic interaction energies within the B7-CD155 complex, modulating the CD155/T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains/CD226 axis to reshape the NK cell-mediated tumor immune microenvironment. In conclusion, this study establishes the therapeutic potential of B7 for glioma, synergistically targeting GSC biology and NK cell immunity for the treatment of GBM.
