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

Metastatic lesions are the leading cause of death among cancer patients. These lesions usually originate from clonal proliferation of single tumor cells dispersed from the primary tumor into the circulation which finally arrest in the capillary bed of distant organs. The microenvironment within the circulation of potential metastatic target organs provides a variety of pro- and anti- metastatic stimuli regulating the onset of organ colonisation by metastatic tumor cells. Mechanical shear stress, anoikis and cell mediated cytotoxicity within the microcirculation probably clear most circulating tumor cells. Adhesion, and eventually extravasation, are essential initial interactions of circulating tumor cells with distant organs and can provide escape from the cytotoxic environment within the circulation. Adhesion to the capillary wall is mostly controlled by the organ-specific availability of adhesion molecules on tumor cells, the endothelium, and the composition of the underlying extracellular matrix. The availability of pro-adhesive and pro-migratory paracrine signals provided by the organ specific microenvironment can further initiate the onset of metastatic organ colonisation. Tumor cell and microenvironment factors regulating survival within the microcirculation, adhesion and extravasation of tumor cells are highlighted in the review.
