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

purposeGlioblastoma (GBM), an extremely lethal and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic outcomes, exhibits strong resistance to standard therapies owing to anoikis resistance indicating the need for novel treatments. In this study, we used thermoradiotherapy as an integrative approach for GBM to sensitize its resistance to anoikis. EXPERIMENTAL

designThe therapeutic effects of thermoradiotherapy were assessed using cell counting kit-8, colony formation, Transwell, and anoikis assays. Proteomic analysis was performed to identify potential therapeutic targets for thermoradiotherapy. The impact of certain therapeutic target on GBM proliferation, metastasis, and anoikis was identified using EdU, colony formation, Transwell, and anoikis assays. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to explore the relevant molecular mechanisms.

resultsThermoradiotherapy inhibited proliferation and metastasis of GBM, and reverses anoikis resistance to improve therapeutic outcomes. Proteomic analysis revealed ITGA5 as a prospective therapeutic target. In vitro and in vivo studies identified that ITGA5 promoted GBM proliferation, metastasis, and anoikis resistance by regulating PI3K/AKT pathway activation.

conclusionsThis study presents a novel thermoradiotherapy for GBM, integrating potent antitumour efficacy and negligible side effects. ITGA5 is a underlying therapeutic target for thermoradiotherapy which related to proliferation, metastasis, and anoikis resistance of GBM.
