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

Sarcomas are rare malignancies with over 100 distinct histological subtypes. Their rarity and heterogeneity pose significant challenges to identifying effective therapies, and approved regimens show varied responses. Novel, personalized approaches to therapy are needed to improve patient outcomes. Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs) model tumor behavior across an array of malignancies. We leverage PDTOs to characterize the landscape of drug resistance and sensitivity in sarcoma, collecting 194 specimens from 126 patients spanning 24 distinct sarcoma subtypes. Our high-throughput organoid screening pipeline tested single agents and combinations, with results available within a week from surgery. Drug sensitivity correlated with clinical features such as tumor subtype, treatment history, and disease trajectory. PDTO screening can facilitate optimal drug selection and mirror patient outcomes in sarcoma. We could identify at least one FDA-approved or NCCN-recommended effective regimen for 59% of the specimens, demonstrating the potential of our pipeline to provide actionable treatment information.
