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

backgroundKidney cancer is one of the most common solid tumors. The advancement of human kidney cancer research and treatment has been hindered by a lack of research models that faithfully recapitulate the diversity of the disease.

methodsWe established an effective three-dimensional culture system for generating kidney cancer organoids from clinical renal cell carcinoma samples. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) organoids were characterized by H&E staining, immunofluorescence, whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing. The use of RCC organoids in personalized cancer therapy was assessed by testing their responses to treatment drugs and chimeric antigen receptor T cells.

resultsUsing this organoid culture system, 33 kidney cancer organoid lines from common kidney cancer subtypes, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC), and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC), were generated. RCC organoids preserved the histological architectures, mutational landscapes, and transcriptional profile of the parental tumor tissues. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity in RCC organoids. RCC organoids allowed for in vitro drug screening and provided a tool for assessing the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells.

conclusionsPatient-derived RCC organoids are valuable pre-clinical models for academic research and personalized medicine.
