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

Malignant tumors notably decrease life expectancy. Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, the mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis, progression and drug resistance have not been fully elucidated. An emerging method to study tumors is tumor organoids, which are a three‑dimensional miniature structure. These retain the patient‑specific tumor heterogeneity while demonstrating the histological, genetic and molecular features of original tumors. Compared with conventional cancer cell lines and animal models, patient‑derived tumor organoids are more advanced at physiological and clinical levels. Their synergistic combination with other technologies, such as organ‑on‑a‑chip, 3D‑bioprinting, tissue‑engineered cell scaffolds and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‑associated protein 9, may overcome limitations of the conventional 3D organoid culture and result in the development of more appropriate model systems that preserve the complex tumor stroma, inter‑organ and intra‑organ communications. The present review summarizes the evolution of tumor organoids and their combination with advanced technologies, as well as the application of tumor organoids in basic and clinical research.
