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

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is a primary cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and novel treatments are needed due to the limited options available for treatment and tumor heterogeneity. 66 surgically removed PLC samples were cultured using the self-developed 2:2 method, and the final success rate for organoid culture was 40.9%. Organoid performance has been evaluated using comprehensive molecular measurements, such as whole-exome and RNA sequencing, as well as anticancer drug testing. Multiple organoids and their corresponding tumor tissues contained several of the same mutations, with all pairs sharing conventional TP53 mutations. Regarding copy number variations and gene expression, significant correlations were observed between the organoids and their corresponding parental tumor tissues. Comparisons at the molecular level provided us with an assessment of organoid-to-tumor concordance, which, in combination with drug sensitivity testing provided direct guidance for treatment selection. Finally, we were able to determine an appropriate pharmacological regimen for a patient with ICC, demonstrating the clinical practicality in tailoring patient-specific drug regimens. Our study provides an organoid culture technology that can cultivate models that retain most of the molecular characteristics of tumors and can be used for drug sensitivity testing, demonstrating the broad potential application of organoid technology in precision medicine for liver cancer treatment.
