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

Our poor understanding of the intricate biology of cancer and the limited availability of preclinical models that faithfully recapitulate the complexity of tumors are primary contributors to the high failure rate of novel therapeutics in oncology clinical studies. To address this need, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) platforms have been widely deployed and have reached a point of development where we can critically review their utility to model and interrogate relevant clinical scenarios, including tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution, contributions of the tumor microenvironment, identification of novel drugs and biomarkers, and mechanisms of drug resistance. Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a unique case to illustrate clinical perspectives revealed by PDX studies, as they overcome limitations intrinsic to conventional ex vivo models. Furthermore, the success of molecularly annotated "Avatar" models for co-clinical trials in other diseases suggests that this approach may provide an additional opportunity to improve clinical decisions, including opportunities for precision targeted therapeutics, for patients with CRC in real time. Although critical weaknesses have been identified with regard to the ability of PDX models to predict clinical outcomes, for now, they are certainly the model of choice for preclinical studies in CRC. Ongoing multi-institutional efforts to develop and share large-scale, well-annotated PDX resources aim to maximize their translational potential. This review comprehensively surveys the current status of PDX models in translational CRC research and discusses the opportunities and considerations for future PDX development.
