Therapeutic Potential of Tetrandrine Compared to Temozolomide in Treating Glioblastoma Multiforme Under Normoxic and Hypoxic Conditions.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor in adults. Necrosis, and by inference hypoxia, is a pathognomonic feature of GBM tumors, where hypoxia significantly contributes to chemoresistance, leading to local treatment failure and disease progression. Although temozolomide (TMZ) is the main treatment option, 60-75% of GBM patients do not benefit from it. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Tetrandrine (TET) in combination with or compared to TMZ in treating GBM cells (M010b and U87) under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The therapeutic potential was assessed using qRT-PCR, MTT assay, combination index analysis, flow cytometry for apoptosis and cell cycle analysis, scratch assay, gelatin zymography, measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and molecular docking. Under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, TET showed significant cytotoxicity in both cell lines compared to TMZ. A synergistic effect was observed only under normoxia at 2× IC
