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, an aggressive brain tumor that largely depends on angiogenesis, has limited treatment options and poor prognosis. This study explores the therapeutic potential of fimepinostat, a dual HDAC/PI3K inhibitor, as a single agent alone and in combination of temozolomide in glioblastoma using preclinical tumor and angiogenesis models. We show that fimepinostat at nanomolar concentrations inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in a panel of glioblastoma cell lines. In addition, fimepinostat inhibited capillary network formation of microvascular endothelial cells derived from patients, indicating that fimepinostat inhibits glioblastoma angiogenesis. Combination index analysis indicates that fimepinostat and temozolomide is synergistic in inhibiting glioblastoma. Consistent with the
