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

Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecologic malignancy due to strong interpatient heterogeneity and immune evasion. Traditional two-dimensional cultures and animal models lack the ability to maintain interactions among tumors, immune cells, and stromal cells and have limitations in clinical translation. This review discusses the organoid construction methods using adult stem cells (normal epithelium, tumor tissues and ascites), and induced pluripotent stem cells, comparing various culture platforms from air-liquid interface to microfluidic devices. We highlight organoids containing immune components are valuable for assessing T cell exhaustion, NK cell cytotoxicity, and stromal communication, which help to screen immunotherapy, discover biomarker, and profile drug resistance. The persistent challenges include limited vascularization, short-term maintenance of immune components and lack of standard protocols. We present new solutions that integrate multi-omics, biomaterials and automated perfusion to improve physiological fidelity and scalability. Collectively, ovarian cancer organoids with immune microenvironment can bridge preclinical gaps and accelerate the development of personalized immune therapy.
