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

objectivesRecent advances in patient-derived cancer organoids have opened a new avenue for personalised medicine. We aimed to establish an

methodsPatient-derived bladder cancer organoids (BCOs) were derived using classic medium containing R-spondin 1 and noggin. The features of BCOs were characterised via H&E, whole-exome sequencing and immunofluorescence of specific markers. Surface antigen expression profiles of the recently identified CAR-recognisable targets were determined with a panel of antibodies via immunohistochemistry. A co-cultivation system consisting of BCOs and engineered T cells targeting a specific antigen was utilised to test its efficacy to model immunotherapy by cytotoxic assays and ELISA.

resultsBladder cancer organoid lines of basal and luminal subtypes were established. The histopathological morphology, genomic alteration, and specific marker expression profiles showed that the BCO lines retained the characteristics of the original tumors. Among all tested CAR-recognisable antigens in other solid tumors, MUC1 was simultaneously expressed in organoids and parental tumor tissues. Given the surface antigen profiles, second-generation CAR-T cells targeting MUC1 were prepared for modelling

conclusionPatient-derived BCOs recapitulate the heterogeneity and key features of parental cancer tissues, and these BCOs could be useful for preclinical testing of CAR-T cells
