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

Cancer research relies on model systems, which reflect the biology of actual human tumours to only a certain extent. One important feature of human cancer is its intra-tumour genomic heterogeneity and instability. However, the extent of such genomic instability in cancer models has received limited attention in research. Here, we review the state of knowledge of genomic instability of cancer models and discuss its biological origins and implications for basic research and for cancer precision medicine. We discuss strategies to cope with such genomic evolution and evaluate both the perils and the emerging opportunities associated with it.
