Evaluation and modification of tumor cell isolation techniques from malignant effusions for rapid drug sensitivity testing.
Article in Molecular oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Non-small cell lung cancer treatment decisions rely on several diagnostic steps. Tests that rely on DNA sequencing often fail to capture the full mutational landscape of tumor cells, and drug sensitivity testing (DST) has limitations hindering widespread use currently. One of the major challenges for DST is the rapid isolation of a sufficient number of live tumor cells that would allow testing of multiple drugs simultaneously. To address this challenge, we have developed a DST procedure specifically tailored for tumor cells originating from malignant pleural effusions. We first identified tumor cells by anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) flow cytometry and then compared several methods for tumor cell isolation: immunomagnetic enrichment of epithelial cells using EpCAM, negative selection via immunomagnetic CD45
