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

backgroundSoft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are a diverse group of malignancies that remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Relatively few reliable cell lines currently exist. Rapidly developing technology for genomic profiling with emerging insights into candidate functional (driver) aberrations raises the need for more models for in vitro functional validation of molecular targets.

methodsPrimary cell culture was performed on STS tumours utilising a differential attachment approach. Cell lines were characterised by morphology, immunocytochemistry, proliferation assays, short tandem repeat (STR) and microarray-based genomic copy number profiling.

resultsOf 47 STS cases of various subtypes, half formed adherent monolayers. Seven formed self-immortalised cell lines, including three undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, two dedifferentiated liposarcomas (one of which had received radiotherapy), a leiomyosarcoma and a myxofibrosarcoma. Two morphologically distinct yet genetically identical variants were established in separate cultures for the latter two tumours. All cell lines demonstrated genomic and phenotypic features that not only confirm their malignant characteristics but also confirm retention of DNA copy number aberrations present in their parent tumours that likely include drivers.

conclusionsThese primary cell lines are much-needed additions to the number of reliable cell lines of STS with complex genomics available for initial functional validation of candidate molecular targets.
