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

Programs for preclinical testing of targeted cancer agents in murine models of childhood cancers have been supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) since 2004. These programs were established to work collaboratively with industry partners to address the paucity of targeted agents for pediatric cancers compared with the large number of agents developed and approved for malignancies primarily affecting adults. The distinctive biology of pediatric cancers and the relatively small numbers of pediatric cancer patients are major challenges for pediatric oncology drug development. These factors are exacerbated by the division of cancers into multiple subtypes that are further sub-classified by their genomic properties. The imbalance between the large number of candidate agents and small patient populations requires careful prioritization of agents developed for adult cancers for clinical evaluation in children with cancer. The NCI-supported preclinical pediatric programs have published positive and negative results of efficacy testing for over 100 agents to aid the pediatric research community in identifying the most promising candidates to move forward for clinical testing in pediatric oncology. Here, we review and summarize lessons learned from two decades of experience with the design and execution of preclinical trials of antineoplastic agents in murine models of childhood cancers.
