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

Local therapies are in development for targeting of brain tumors and cancer stem cells, as well as non-brain tumors, due to significant transport barriers that hinder sufficient drug accumulation at the disease site. For chemotherapeutics, local delivery is already a well-established practice in the clinic for brain tumors. For immunotherapy applications, local therapies can include the delivery of immune cell engagers, adoptive cell therapies, or combination therapies to encourage adaptive responses. The duration of action of local therapies is important to extend and screen to identify efficacious formulations with a single or minimal administration. To this end, this chapter discusses the development of three-dimensional embedded multi-cellular spheroid models to track spheroid killing in real time and to screen the extended duration of action of local T cell engagers with new therapeutic scaffolds and drug eluting medical devices.
