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

Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a highly aggressive salivary gland malignancy characterized by infiltrative growth patterns that hinder complete resection. Lacking effective chemotherapy, recurrent or metastatic ACC remains clinically incurable. This research aimed to develop an efficient culture system for ACC organoids, which can preserve tumor heterogeneity and establish a reliable drug screening platform. Under our optimized culture conditions, ACC organoids grew rapidly and successfully recapitulated three characteristic histopathological patterns. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) further confirmed they mirrored the genomic features of their parental tumors, including significantly mutated genes, non-coding regulatory region mutations, copy number variation, and minor allele frequency. RNA sequencing confirmed that ACC organoids recapitulated the MYB-NFIB fusion gene. At the protein level, these organoids contained multiple cellular components, including epithelial cells, mesenchymal cells, K7+ duct cells, a-SMA+ myoepithelial cells, K5+ basement membrane cells, and CD44+ tumor stem cells, with proper spatial distribution patterns. With an 88% success rate, the first ACC organoid platform, incorporating normal salivary gland (SG) organoids as toxicity controls, enabled high-throughput drug testing within two weeks. In conclusion, we developed an efficient culture system for ACC organoids that can preserve tumor heterogeneity and establish a reliable drug screening platform for mechanistic studies and personalized precision therapy research.
