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

Bone marrow disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) are dormant cancer cells that harbor themselves in a bone marrow niche for years after patient remission before potentially returning to a proliferative state, causing recurrent cancer. DTCs reside in bone marrow environments with physiologically important mesenchymal stem cells that are often negatively affected by chemotherapy treatments. Currently, there are very few models of DTCs that recapitulate their dormant phenotype while producing enough samples to accurately quantify cancer and surrounding stromal cell behaviors. We present a three-dimensional spheroid-based model system that uses dual-color bioluminescence imaging to quantify differential cell viability in response to various compounds. We successfully screened for compounds that selectively eliminated cancer cells versus supportive stromal cells and verified results with comparison to efficacy in vivo. The spheroid coculture system successfully modeled key aspects of DTCs in the bone marrow microenvironment, facilitating testing for compounds to selectively eliminate DTCs.
