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

aimTo develop a patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of cervical cancer and cervical dysplasia using the subrenal capsule.

methodsCervical cancer (12 Squamous Cell Carcinoma, 1 Adenocarcinoma, 1 Adenosquamous Carcinoma), 7 cervical dysplasia biopsy and normal cervical tissues were transplanted beneath the renal capsule of immunocompromised NOD/SCID/gamma mice. Resulting tumours were harvested and portions serially transplanted into new recipient mice for up to three in vivo passages. Parent and xenograft tumours were examined by immunohistochemistry for p16INK41, HPV, and CD-45. Single cell suspensions of mixed mouse and human, or human only cell populations were also transplanted.

resultsThe overall engraftment rate for the primary cervical cancer PDX model was 71.4 ±12.5% (n = 14). Tumours maintained morphological, histoarchitecture and immunohistochemical features of the parent tumour, and demonstrated invasiveness into local tissues. Single cell suspensions did not produce tumour growth in this model. Mean length of time (32.4 +/- 3.5 weeks) for the transplanted tissue to generate a tumour in the animal was similar between successive transplantations. Three of four xenografted cervical dysplasia tissues generated microscopic cystic structures resembling dysplastic cervical tissue. Normal cervical tissue (4 of 5 xenografted) also developed microscopic cervical tissue grafts.

conclusionThe subrenal capsule can be used for a PDX model of human cervical cancer with a good engraftment rate and the ability to model in vivo characteristics of cervical cancer. For the first time we have demonstrated that cervical dysplasia and normal cervical tissue generated microscopic tissues in a PDX model.
