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

Tumor organoids mimicking the tumor microenvironment (TME) are key tools for tumor immunity research and personalized cancer therapy development. We integrated microgravity culture with microfluidic chip technology (Micro-GRA& FLU) to establish a platform for evaluating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-γδ T cell efficacy under physiological-like conditions. Patient-derived glioblastoma (GBM) cells were microgravity-cultured into glioblastoma organoids (GBOs). Pathological analysis validated GBO similarity to matched GBM in immune cell phenotypes. Microfluidic chips assessed CAR-γδ T cell cytotoxicity against GBOs. The low-cost, easy-to-operate microgravity system generated viable, uniform GBOs that retained GBM TME features. CAR-γδ T cells showed strong cytotoxicity against GBOs in microfluidic chips; individualized combination therapy enhanced their antitumor activity vs. monotherapy. This study establishes a scalable, physiologically relevant Micro-GRA& FLU platform for evaluating CAR-γδ T cell therapies in GBM organoids.
