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

Three-dimensional cancer cell cultures have been a valuable research model for developing new drug targets in the preclinical stage. However, there are still limitations to these in vitro models. Scaffold-based systems offer a promising approach to overcoming these challenges in cancer research. In this study, we show that two-photon polymerization (TPP)-assisted printing of scaffolds enhances 3D tumor cell culture formation without additional modifications. TPP is a perfect fit for this task, as it is an advanced 3D-printing technique combining a μm-level resolution with complete freedom in the design of the final structure. Additionally, it can use a wide array of materials, including biocompatible ones. We exploit these capabilities to fabricate scaffolds from two different biocompatible materials-PEGDA and OrmoClear. Cubic spheroid scaffolds with a more complex architecture were produced and tested. The biological evaluation showed that the human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and A2780 formed 3D cultures on printed scaffolds without a preference for the material. The gene expression evaluation showed that the A2780 cell line exhibited substantial changes in
