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 describe a model of tumour invasion in which murine melanoma/lymphocyte hybrid cells are injected into the lateral ventricle of neonatal mice. CSF circulation carries cells to the third ventricle where attachment to the ependyma and invasion of the underlying brain may be observed. At this distance from the injection site, invasion can be studied free from trauma or inflammation induced by the injection procedure. Accordingly we restricted our attention to the third ventricle. Our results reveal an unusual form of tumour invasion of the ependyma characterized by progressive attenuation of the ependymal cell layer immediately beneath tumour cell aggregates. Continuity of the ependymal cell layer is ultimately lost at a focal point immediately beneath the tumour, permitting direct contact between tumour cells and the neuropil. Subsequent deep invasion of the brain parenchyma is accomplished by pericapillary infiltration.
