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

Monitoring dynamic processes in complex cellular environments requires the integration of uniformly distributed detectors within such three-dimensional (3D) networks, to an extent that the sensor could provide real-time information on nearby perturbations in a non-invasive manner. In this context, the development of 3D-printed structures that can function as both sensors and cell culture platforms emerges as a promising strategy, not only for mimicking a specific cell niche but also toward identifying its characteristic physicochemical conditions, such as concentration gradients. We present herein a 3D cancer model that incorporates a hydrogel-based scaffold containing gold nanorods. In addition to sustaining cell growth, the printed nanocomposite inks display the ability to uncover drug diffusion profiles by surface-enhanced Raman scattering, with high spatiotemporal resolution. We additionally demonstrate that the acquired information could pave the way to designing novel strategies for drug discovery in cancer therapy, through correlation of drug diffusion with cell death.
