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

Histiocytic sarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm characterized by immunophenotypic features of mature histiocytes. The mechanisms underlying its malignant transformation remain poorly understood; consequently, the development of effective therapies remains limited. Resected histiocytic sarcoma specimens were cultured using a modified air-liquid interface organoid method, serially passaged, and xenografted into NOD-scid IL2Rgnull mice. Tumors formed by xenografted organoids retained histological and genetic similarities with the original tumor. Genomic analysis revealed the activation of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway and amplification of Yes-associated protein 1, a key effector of the Hippo pathway. Accordingly, we evaluated the sensitivity of the organoids to the Sonic Hedgehog inhibitor vismodegib and Yes-associated protein 1 inhibitor verteporfin, both of which demonstrated potent in vitro antitumor activity in organoid cultures. This model offers a valuable preclinical platform for investigating the molecular pathology of this rare malignancy and accelerating the development of targeted therapies.
