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

Out of several types of tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), glioblastoma (GBM) represents one of the most frequent and malignant forms of brain neoplasms. To date, GBM holds very limited therapeutic options leaving patients with poor prognosis of survival. As such, novel treatment approaches are constantly quested. One of these strategies is based on the utilization of proteasome inhibitors (PIs). However, although several PIs have been approved as therapy for patients with hematological malignancies, these treatment benefits cannot not be easily extrapolated to brain tumors. This is mostly due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeability of the majority of PIs, which is then followed by their low brain bioavailability. Marizomib (MZB) is a unique, irreversible, second-generation proteasome inhibitor, which unlike other PIs can penetrate through the BBB, making it a promising therapeutic tool in brain tumors. Despite an indisputable therapeutic potential of MZB, it has yet failed to be successfully introduced to the clinics as a ready-to-use chemotherapy for GBM-suffering patients. Therefore, in this work we describe the potential of PIs as candidates for neuro-oncological drugs, present results of preclinical and clinical investigations concerning MZB in brain tumors, discuss possible reasons of failure of MZB-based therapies and delineate future directions of MZB-related studies.
