Volatile organic compound analysis of malignant pleural mesothelioma chorioallantoic membrane xenografts.

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.
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
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer associated with asbestos exposure. MPM is often diagnosed late, at a point where limited treatment options are available, but early intervention could improve the chances of successful treatment for MPM patients. Biomarkers to detect MPM in at-risk individuals are needed to implement early diagnosis technologies. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have previously shown diagnostic potential as biomarkers when analysed in MPM patient breath. In this study, chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) xenografts of MPM cell lines were used as models of MPM tumour development for VOC biomarker discovery with the aim of generating targets for investigation in breath, biopsies or other complex matrices. VOC headspace analysis of biphasic or epithelioid MPM CAM xenografts was performed using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We successfully demonstrated the capture, analysis and separation of VOC signatures from CAM xenografts and controls. A panel of VOCs was identified that showed discrimination between MPM xenografts generated from biphasic and epithelioid cells and CAM controls. This is the first application of the CAM xenograft model for the discovery of VOC biomarkers associated with MPM histological subtypes. These findings support the potential utility of non-invasive VOC profiling from breath or headspace analysis of tissues for detection and monitoring of MPM.
