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

We have developed a three dimensional hybrid multiscale agent-based ODE PDE model including tumour immune interaction, cell cycle phases, oxygen and drug diffusion dynamics, the pharmacodynamics of chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and the respective systemic exposure levels of pharmacological treatments (described by pharmacokinetic modelling). The aim of this model is to support understanding of the spatial-temporal dynamic interactions between cancer cells, the relevant immune cells, and targeted therapies’ molecular moieties, which interact simultaneously in the tumour microenvironment. This interaction is further investigated in the context of combination therapies, thus making some inroads in the mechanistic understanding of positive and negative synergies when multiple therapies are administered. This work addresses the role of temporal sequencing in combination therapies, which requires the simultaneous modelling of multiple system components.
