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

This review addresses the application of three-dimensional cultures of prostatic cells to the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. A variety of therapeutic agents to combat prostate cancer are currently under development. These include cytotoxins, differentiation agents and, more recently, genetically modified tumor vaccines. Three-dimensional cultures of prostatic cells are increasingly used in preclinical research in the design of new therapies and in the development of delivery strategies for these treatments. These tissue-like structures more realistically model the structural architecture and differentiated function of the human prostate than a cellular monolayer. In doing so, three-dimensional cultures produce an in vivo-like response to therapeutic agents. Advances in tissue engineering have improved the variety, fidelity and quantity of these prostate models. To date, they have been applied to estimate the dose of new drug therapies, evaluate drug penetration into solid tumors, assess the effectiveness of drug combinations, and develop tumor vaccines.
