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

As one of the most advanced in vitro drug screening platforms, tumor organoids require accurate pharmacosensitivity assessments to ensure reliable results. However, achieving accurate volume assessment of these 3D organoid models remains a challenge in traditional drug screening processes. Here, a label-free organoids photoacoustic imaging (LFOPI) system is introduced for high-resolution 3D imaging of tumor organoids. The capabilities of the LFOPI system are evaluated by monitoring structural transformations in melanoma organoids. The LFOPI system is further employed for volumetric drug screening of melanoma tumor organoids. Drug screening with cisplatin and temozolomide reveal that LFOPI-based organoid volume data correlates more strongly with viability trends (0.8627 and 0.9069) than traditional diameter-based methods (0.8190 and 0.7849). Additionally, immunotherapy drug screening demonstrates the capability of the system to precisely assess the 3D volumes of irregularly shaped organoids. This LFOPI system provides a promising method for label-free drug screening and personalized treatment.
