Radioresistant mouse pheochromocytoma cell lines.

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
Objective: Patients diagnosed with metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PCC/PGL) have limited treatment options. In some cases, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is followed by an eruption of metastases, possibly originating from tumor cells with a radioresistant phenotype. However, the underlying mechanisms of radioresistance in PCC/PGL remain largely unknown and appropriate models are missing. Methods: Two genetically modified mouse pheochromocytoma (MPC) cell lines, one positive and one negative for hypoxia-inducible factor 2α expression (MPC+HIF-2α and MPC+EV [empty vector], respectively), were X-ray-conditioned through fractionated irradiation at sublethal doses. Two procedures were tested: one allowed for recovery between each irradiation step (recIR), while the other demanded daily irradiation (dayIR). Changes in cell morphology, growth rates, and DNA repair (γH2AX immunostaining) were characterized in response to irradiation. Results: We generated two MPC+HIF-2α- and two MPC+EV-derived cell lines that tolerate irradiations with X-rays at dose fractions of 2 Gy per day without significant growth inhibition. All recIR-and dayIR-conditioned cell lines showed increased DNA repair capacity. Morphological changes toward stronger clustering and slower growth were more pronounced in dayIR-conditioned than in recIR-conditioned cell lines. X-ray-conditioned MPC+HIF-2α cells showed the highest increase in resistance to X-ray-treatment with dose fractions up to 5 Gy per day. Conclusion: The herein established X-ray-conditioned MPC cell lines represent PCC/PGL models with a radioresistant phenotype. Further investigations on the radiation-induced genetic responses of these cell lines, their corresponding tumor spheroids, and tumor allografts in mice will help to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of acquired radioresistance and radionuclide therapy-induced metastatic eruption in PCC/PGL. Lastly, the suitability of advanced PRRT and complementary treatments can be tested to improve theranostic strategies.
