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

Immunocompromised mice are commonly utilized to study pancreatic cancer and other malignancies. The ability to xenograft tumors in either subcutaneous or orthotopic locations provides a robust model to study diverse biological features of human malignancies. However, there is a dire need for large animal models that better recapitulate human anatomy in terms of size and physiology. These models will be critical for biomedical device development, surgical optimization, and drug discovery. Here, we describe the generation and application of immunocompromised pigs lacking RAG2 and IL2RG as a novel model for human xenograft studies. These SCID-like pigs closely resemble NOD scid gamma mice and are receptive to human tumor tissue, cell lines, and organoid xenografts. However, due to their immunocompromised nature, these immunocompromised animals require housing and maintenance under germfree conditions. In this protocol, we describe the use of these pigs in a subcutaneous tumor injection study with human PANC1 cells. The tumors demonstrate a steady, linear growth curve, reaching 1.0 cm within 30 days post injection. The model described here is focused on subcutaneous injections behind the ear. However, it is readily adaptable for other locations and additional human cell types.
