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

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized oncology but faces significant challenges including low response rates and lack of effective preclinical models. This review elucidates how patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as a transformative platform to address these hurdles. We detail sophisticated immuno-PDO (iPDO) models, categorized into reconstituted systems (co-culturing PDOs with exogenous immune cells) and native systems (preserving endogenous tumor microenvironment via Air-Liquid Interface or Patient-Derived Organotypic Tumor Spheroids). A problem-solution framework demonstrates how iPDOs: (1) deconvolute the immunosuppressive TME; (2) function as "living biomarkers" for predicting clinical responses; (3) unravel resistance mechanisms via multi-omics; and (4) empower high-throughput screening for personalized combination therapies. Integration with bioengineering, multi-omics, and AI heralds a new era in precision immuno-oncology, holding immense promise for deciphering resistance and improving clinical outcomes.
