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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human cancers. Innovative treatment concepts may enhance oncological outcome. Clinically relevant tumor models are essential in developing new therapeutic strategies. In the present study, we used two human PDAC cell lines for an orthotopic xenograft mouse model and compared treatment characteristics between this in vivo tumor model and PDAC patients. Tumor-bearing mice received stereotactic high-precision irradiation using arc technique after 3D-treatment planning. Induction of DNA damage in tumors and organs at risk (OARs) was histopathologically analyzed by the DNA damage marker γH2AX and compared with results after unprecise whole-abdomen irradiation. Our mouse model and preclinical setup reflect the characteristics of PDAC patients and clinical RT. It was feasible to perform stereotactic high-precision RT after defining tumor and OARs by CT imaging. After stereotactic RT, a high rate of DNA damage was mainly observed in the tumor but not in OARs. The calculated dose distributions and the extent of the irradiation field correlate with histopathological staining and the clinical example. We established and validated 3D-planned stereotactic RT in an orthotopic PDAC mouse model, which reflects the human RT. The efficacy of the whole workflow of imaging, treatment planning, and high-precision RT was proven by longitudinal analysis showing a significant improved survival. Importantly, this model can be used to analyze tumor regression and therapy-related toxicity in one model and will allow drawing clinically relevant conclusions.
