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

Spheroids are widely used in oncology for testing drugs, but models composed of a single cell line do not fully capture the complexity of the in vivo tumours targeted by chemotherapy. Developing 3D in vitro models that better mimic tumour architecture is a crucial step for the scientific community. To enable more reliable drug testing, we generated multiculture spheroids and analysed cell morphology and distribution over time. This dataset is the first publicly available single-cell light-sheet fluorescence microscopy image collection of 3D multiculture tumour models comprising of three different cell lines analysed at different time points. Specifically, we created models composed of one cancer cell line (melanoma, breast cancer, or osteosarcoma) alongside two stromal cell lines (fibroblasts and endothelial cells). Then, we acquired single-cell resolution light-sheet fluorescence 3D images of the spheroids to analyse spheroid morphology after 24, 48, and 96 hours. The image collection, whole spheroid annotations, and extracted features are publicly available for further research and can support the development of automated analysis models.
