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

Background: Elevated tumor tissue interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is an adverse biomechanical biomarker that predicts poor therapy response and an aggressive phenotype. Advances in functional imaging have opened the prospect of measuring IFP non-invasively. Image-based estimation of the IFP requires knowledge of the tissue hydraulic conductivity ( Methods: We measured the hydraulic conductivity of tumor tissue using modified Ussing chambers in surgical resection specimens. The effect of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on Results: The results show that the hydraulic conductivity of human tumor tissues is very limited, ranging from approximately 10 Conclusions: Human tumor tissue is characterized by a very limited hydraulic conductivity, representing a barrier to effective drug transport. The results of this study can inform the development of realistic computational models, facilitate non-invasive IFP estimation, and contribute to stromal targeting anticancer therapies.
