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 ability of tumours to metastasis is regarded as one of the hallmarks of malignancy. The process through which tumours evolve to achieve this has been termed the metastatic cascade. This cascade has been the subject of much investigation over many years. One of the vital events identified by these investigations is the reduction of adhesion between tumour cells facilitating invasion of the surrounding tissues and vascular channels, ultimately leading to the development of a distant metastasis. E-cadherin and its associated catenin complex have been identified as key molecules in cell adhesion. This review looks at the structure and interaction of the E-cadherin-catenin complex and the factors that appear to regulate E-cadherin expression and thus cell adhesion. From the data gathered, it has become possible to propose the hypothesis that the development of tumour hypoxia is the initiating factor that sets the tumour on the road to metastasis.
