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

backgroundMicronodular thymic neoplasm with lymphoid stroma (MNT), a subtype of thymic tumor, is histopathologically characterized by micronodular thymic epithelial cell nests with lymphoid stroma. Despite the distinct histopathology of MNT, its pathogenesis remains unclear.

methodsIn this study, we aimed to examine a thymic tumor harboring thymic epithelial and lymphoid cells in a nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mouse.

resultsThe excised tumor cells were cultured in vitro and comprised epithelial tumor cells and lymphoid cells. During a three-dimensional cell culture, the epithelial tumor cells formed micronodular cell nests surrounded by lymphoid stroma. Notably, the lymphoid cells underwent apoptosis when they were separated from the epithelial tumor cells. Cutaneous transplantation of the cultured epithelial cells with splenocytes from BALB/c mice led to tumor formation, and these cells demonstrated a histopathology similar to that of human MNT in a nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mouse.

conclusionGiven its overlapping features with human MNT, the transplanted tumor could serve as an experimental model of this disease.
