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.
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
purposeMedulloblastoma (MB), a common and heterogeneous posterior fossa tumor in pediatric patients, presents diverse prognostic outcomes. To advance our understanding of MB's intricate biology, the development of novel patient tumor-derived culture MB models with necessary data is still an essential requirement.
methodsWe continuously passaged PUMC-MB1 in vitro in order to establish a continuous cell line. We examined the in vitro growth using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and in vivo growth with subcutaneous and intracranial xenograft models. The xenografts were investigated histopathologically with Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Concurrently, we explored its molecular features using Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), targeted sequencing, and RNA sequecing. Guided by bioinformatics analysis, we validated PUMC-MB1's drug sensitivity in vitro and in vivo.
resultsPUMC-MB1, derived from a high-risk MB patient, displayed a population doubling time (PDT) of 48.18 h and achieved 100% tumor growth in SCID mice within 20 days. HE and Immunohistochemical examination of the original tumor and xenografts confirmed the classification of PUMC-MB1 as a classic MB. Genomic analysis via WGS revealed concurrent MYC and OTX2 amplifications. The RNA-seq data classified it within the Group 3 MB subgroup, while according to the WHO classification, it fell under the Non-WNT/Non-SHH MB. Comparative analysis with D283 and D341med identified 4065 differentially expressed genes, with notable enrichment in the PI3K-AKT pathway. Cisplatin, 4-hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide/cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dactolisib (a selective PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor) significantly inhibited PUMC-MB1 proliferation in vitro and in vivo.
conclusionsPUMC-MB1, a novel Group 3 (Non-WNT/Non-SHH) MB cell line, is comprehensively characterized for its growth, pathology, and molecular characteristics. Notably, dactolisib demonstrated potent anti-proliferative effects with minimal toxicity, promising a potential therapeutic avenue. PUMC-MB1 could serve as a valuable tool for unraveling MB mechanisms and innovative treatment strategies.
