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 xenograft (PDX) models of lymphoma typically involve the injection of human tumor cells into an immunocompromised murine host. PDXs have the advantage that the tumor cells grow in a 3D environment within the mouse, meaning the selection pressure of in vitro establishment is avoided and the tumor cells better maintain their genetic heterogeneity. Here, we outline a method for producing and maintaining a PDX model of lymphoma. We describe three different methods to isolate a single cell suspension of the primary patient tumor, followed by either subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection into an immunocompromised mouse. We then detail how to monitor tumor growth and how to harvest, passage, and store the tumors once they have grown. We highlight and discuss important protocol considerations including technical hints as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the methods described.
