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

The impact of systemic therapy on the tumor microenvironment has been difficult to study in human solid tumors. Our protocol describes steps for establishing slice cultures to investigate response to chemotherapies, immunotherapies, or adoptive cell therapies. Endpoints include changes in viability, histology, live-cell imaging, and multi-omics analyses. The protocol has been applied to a broad array of gastrointestinal malignancies. Culture conditions and treatment parameters can be modified for specific experiments. The platform is highly flexible and easy to manipulate. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kenerson et al. (2020), Jabbari et al. (2020), Brempelis et al. (2020), and Jiang et al. (2017).
