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

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a poorly differentiated pediatric tumor of aggressive behavior characterized by propensity to metastasize to bone. Interactions between the tumor and bone cells orchestrate a vicious cycle in which tumor cells induce osteoclast differentiation and activation to cause osteolytic lesions, broken bones, pain, and hypercalcemia. The lack of controllable models that can recapitulate osteolysis in ES impedes the development of new therapies and limits our understanding of how tumor cells invade bone. In response to this need, tissue-engineered models are now being developed to enable quantitative, predictive studies of human tumors. In this study, we report a novel bioengineered model of ES that incorporates the osteolytic process. Our strategy is based on engineering human bone containing both osteoclasts and osteoblasts within three-dimensional mineralized bone matrix. We show that the bone matrix is resorbed by mature osteoclasts while the new bone matrix is formed by osteoblasts, leading to calcium release and bone remodeling. Introduction of ES cell aggregates into the bone niche induced decreases in bone density, connectivity, and matrix deposition. Additionally, therapeutic reagents, such as zoledronic acid, which have demonstrated efficacy in ES treatment, inhibited bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts in the tumor model.
