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 currently prevailing ideas that set out to explain the process of metastasis are largely based on observations made on the total tumor cell population, and often focus on tumor-intrinsic properties. The clinical observation that particular tumor types show a predilection to metastasize to particular organs has been understood in terms of Paget's "Seed and Soil" hypothesis, but a definition of the molecular basis for the "Seed and Soil" hypothesis is at best only partial. Recent ideas about the cellular basis of tumor growth (cancer stem cells) and the remote establishment by primary tumors of special permissive microenvironments in target organs prior to metastasis (pre-metastatic niches) have the potential to radically change our view of the metastatic process. In this review we examine these new concepts with a particular emphasis on findings made in the context of breast cancer, and compare these concepts with ideas based on studies using the total tumor cell population.
