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

The physical nature of the tumor microenvironment significantly impacts tumor growth, invasion, and response to drugs. Most in vitro tumor models are designed to study the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness on tumor cells, while not addressing the effects of ECM's specific topography. In this study, we bioengineered submucosal organoids, using primary smooth muscle cells embedded in collagen I hydrogel, which produce aligned and parallel fiber topography similar to those found in vivo. The fiber organization in the submucosal organoids induced an epithelial phenotype in spheroids of colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116), which were embedded within the organoids. Conversely, unorganized fibers drove a mesenchymal phenotype in the tumor cells. HCT-116 cells in organoids with aligned fibers showed no WNT signaling activation, and conversely, WNT signaling activation was observed in organoids with disrupted fibers. Consequently, HCT-116 cells in the aligned condition exhibited decreased cellular proliferation and reduced sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil chemotherapeutic treatment compared to cells in the unorganized construct. Collectively, the results establish a unique colorectal tumor organoid model to study the effects of stromal topography on cancer cell phenotype, proliferation, and ultimately, chemotherapeutic susceptibility. In the future, such organoids can utilize patient-derived cells for precision medicine applications.
