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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThree-dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models have recently stimulated great interest since they may have more pre-clinical value than conventional in vitro 2D models. In fact, 3D culture models may mimic the in vivo biophysical 3D structure of tumors and cell-to-cell interaction, thereby representing a more useful approach to testing drug responses. In this study we have developed a 3D culture model of an EBV+/CD30+cell line, D430B, previously characterized as an Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma of B phenotype (B-ALCL), to determine the cytotoxic activity of the antibody-drug conjugate Brentuximab Vedotin.

methodsBy using of ultra-low attachment plates, we developed D430B spheroids that appeared particularly homogenous in terms of growth and size.

resultsBrentuximab Vedotin treatment (1 to 20 μg/mL) turned out to be significantly cytotoxic to these cells, while the addition of the anti-CD20 chimeric antibody Rituximab (10 μg/mL) appeared almost ineffective, even though these cells express CD20. Moreover, when we co-cultured D430B cells with stromal cells (HS5), to re-create a microenvironment representative of neoplastic cell/mesenchymal cell interactions within the lymph node, we observed a significant, although faint, protective effect.

conclusionsThis simple and reproducible method of generating D430B-ALCL spheroids to evaluate their response to Brentuximab Vedotin treatment, as here described, may provide a valuable preliminary tool for the future pre-clinical screening of patients' primary lymphoma cells or the development of novel therapies for this type of pathology and related diseases.
