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

Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs) shows great potential as a preclinical model. However, the current methods for establishing PDTOs primarily focus on modulating local properties, such as sub-micrometer topographies. Nevertheless, they neglect to capture the global millimeter or intermediate mesoscale architecture that have been demonstrated to influence tumor response to therapeutic treatment and tumor progression. In this study, we present a rapid technique for generating collagen bundles with an average length of 90 ± 27 μm and a mean diameter of 5 ± 1.5 μm from tumor tissue debris that underwent mechanical agitation following enzymatic digestion. The collagen bundles were subsequently utilized for the fabrication of biomimetic hydrogels, incorporating microbial transglutaminase (mTG) crosslinked gelatin. These biomimetic hydrogels, referred to as MC-gel, were specifically designed for patient-derived tumor organoids. The lung cancer organoids cultured in MC-gel exhibited larger diameters and higher cell viability compared to those cultured in gels lacking the mesoscale collagen bundle; moreover, their irregular morphology more closely resembled that observed
