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

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized tumor treatment. However, robust and effective testing platforms remain lacking, especially for the selection of the optimized therapy at the patient-specific level. Unlike conventional treatment evaluations, testing platforms for cancer immunotherapy must incorporate not only tumor cells but also the tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune components. Recently, emergence of patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs), an in vitro preclinical model, has provided a novel approach for studying tumor evolution and assessing treatment responses, and shows great potential when coculturing with immune cells to study the mechanisms of immunotherapy efficacy and resistance. However, traditional organoid technology is limited in capturing the full impact of the TME on tumor behaviors due to the absence of stromal components. To circumvent these restrictions, complex organoid cocultures with immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts and vasculatures are developed. In this review, we summarized recent advances in PDTO culture techniques for modeling the TME and explored the application of complex tumor organoids in cancer immunotherapy.
