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

Precision medicine in neuro-oncology hinges on our ability to decode the molecular and functional complexity of brain tumours. These tumours are highly heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystems that remain challenging to replicate with traditional experimental models. Organoids have emerged as next-generation tools for capturing the diversity of brain tumours in a clinically relevant context. Here, we review advances in applying organoids as tumour avatars to foster precision medicine. We assess current methodologies for generating organoids from various brain tumour types and illustrate how these models have enhanced mechanistic insight into tumour initiation, progression and resistance to treatment. Furthermore, we explore their translational potential in functional drug screening and treatment stratification, offering a powerful preclinical and co-clinical platform with which to personalize neuro-oncology.
