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 growth and treatment of tumors is an important problem to society that involves the manifestation of cellular phenomena at length scales on the order of centimeters. Continuum mechanical approaches are being increasingly used to model tumors at the largest length scales of concern. The issue of how to best connect such descriptions to smaller-scale descriptions remains open. We formulate a framework to derive macroscale models of tumor behavior using the thermodynamically constrained averaging theory (TCAT), which provides a firm connection with the microscale and constraints on permissible forms of closure relations. We build on developments in the porous medium mechanics literature to formulate fundamental entropy inequality expressions for a general class of three-phase, compositional models at the macroscale. We use the general framework derived to formulate two classes of models, a two-phase model and a three-phase model. The general TCAT framework derived forms the basis for a wide range of potential models of varying sophistication, which can be derived, approximated, and applied to understand not only tumor growth but also the effectiveness of various treatment modalities.
