Role of infiltrated leucocytes in tumour growth and spread.
Review in British journal of cancer, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 130 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Leucocytes are a major component of the tumour microenvironment. Recent studies have indicated that the infiltration and activity of these host cells are regulated by the tumour to promote its survival and progression. Through the production of an array of growth factors, proteases and angiogenic mediators, leucocytes in the tumour microenvironment promote tumour growth, angiogenesis and metastasis.
