Simulation of head and neck cancer oxygenation and doubling time in a 4D cellular model with angiogenesis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Tumor oxygenation has been correlated with treatment outcome for radiotherapy. In this work, the dependence of tumor oxygenation on tumor vascularity and blood oxygenation was determined quantitatively in a 4D stochastic computational model of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumor growth and angiogenesis. Additionally, the impacts of the tumor oxygenation and the cancer stem cell (CSC) symmetric division probability on the tumor volume doubling time and the proportion of CSCs in the tumor were also quantified. Clinically relevant vascularities and blood oxygenations for HNSCC yielded tumor oxygenations in agreement with clinical data for HNSCC. The doubling time varied by a factor of 3 from well oxygenated tumors to the most severely hypoxic tumors of HNSCC. To obtain the doubling times and CSC proportions clinically observed in HNSCC, the model predicts a CSC symmetric division probability of approximately 2% before treatment. To obtain the doubling times clinically observed during treatment when accelerated repopulation is occurring, the model predicts a CSC symmetric division probability of approximately 50%, which also results in CSC proportions of 30-35% during this time.
