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

The development of antitumor drugs is affected by various unfavorable factors, including long cycles of research and development, large differences in drug efficacy in vivo, and efficacy differences in individuals. Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs), a novel preclinical model in cancer research, are three-dimensional microstructures differentiated from stem cells, with the capability of self-organizing into micro-organs that resemble the original tumor tissues. They have been demonstrated to faithfully recapitulate the biological and molecular features of the original tumor while preserving the tumor heterogeneity. Recently, PDTOs show great potential in drug screening and new drug development. In this review, we overviewed the types of organoids, application of PDTOs in developing new drugs, as well as their challenges and opportunities to provide powerful insights into drug development.
