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

backgroundThe frequent suboptimal efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) to culture pancreatic cancer (PC) organoids (PCOs) poses a major challenge in the advancement of personalized medicine for advanced PC.

aimTo explore how to obtain appropriate puncture tissues from EUS-FNB and optimize the strategy for efficiently constructing PCOs, providing an efficient tool for the advancement of personalized medicine.

methodsPatients who underwent EUS-FNB for the diagnosis of PC tissue were prospectively enrolled. We refined the endoscopic biopsy procedures and organoid cultivation techniques. All tissue specimens verified by on-site pathological assessment were cultured in a semi-suspended medium in a microfluidic environment. We assessed differences in PCOs cultured beyond and below five generations examining patient demographics, specimen and organoid attributes, and the sensitivity of organoids to a panel of clinical drugs through cell viability assays.

resultsIn this study, 16 patients with PC were recruited, one sample was excluded because onsite cytopathology showed no tumor cells. Successful organoid generation occurred in 93.3% (14 of 15) of the EUS-FNB specimens, with 60% (9 of 15) sustaining over five generations. Among these patients, those with a history of diabetes, familial cancer, or larger tumors exhibited enhanced PCO expandability. The key factors influencing long-term PCOs expansion included initial needle sample quality (

conclusionOptimal initial needle sampling, rapid and precise biopsy sample processing, process isolated samples as soon as possible, and sufficient cellular material are crucial for successful cultivating PCOs. High organoid activity is an important factor in maintaining their long-term expansion, which is essential for shortening the time of drug sensitivity analysis and is the basis of PC research.
