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

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) and their transparent embryos are becoming an increasingly popular tool for studying processes involved in tumor progression and in the search for novel tumor treatment approaches. The xenotransplantation of fluorescently labeled mammalian cancer cells into zebrafish embryos is an approach enabling relatively high-throughput in vivo analyses. The small size of the embryos as well as the relative simplicity of their manipulation and maintenance allow for large numbers of embryos to be processed efficiently in a short time and at low cost. Furthermore, the possibility of fluorescence microscopic imaging of tumor progression within zebrafish embryos and larvae holds unprecedented potential for the real-time visualization of these processes in vivo. This review presents the methodologies of xenotransplantation studies on zebrafish involving research on tumor invasion, proliferation, tumor-induced angiogenesis and screening for antitumor therapeutics. We further focus on the application of these zebrafish to the study of glioma; in particular, its most common and malignant form, glioblastoma.
