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

Metastasis in sentinel lymph nodes indicates the initial spread of tumors from a primary site. The recent discovery of tumor-associated growth of lymphatic vessels clarified that tumor lymphangiogenesis actively promotes enhanced draining/sentinel lymph node metastasis. Studies of experimental carcinogenesis have further established that tumors continue to induce lymphangiogenesis in metastatic foci such as draining lymph nodes. Lymphangiogenesis within draining lymph nodes probably contributes to enhanced distant lymph node and distant organ metastases. Lymph node lymphangiogenesis has recently been identified in several human malignancies, such as cutaneous malignant melanoma. Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis thus has potential significance not only at the primary site, but also in lymph nodes. Primary tumors induce new lymphatic vessel growth in draining lymph nodes before metastasis. The remarkable enlargement of sinusoidal lymphatic endothelium might facilitate tumor cell transport to the lymph nodes, and potentially contribute to the migration, residence, and/or survival of metastatic tumor cancer stem cells by inducing a specific tumor microenvironment. Therefore, the novel concept of 'lymphvascular niche' is proposed herein to explain lymphatic network expansion. This concept might help to improve understanding of the molecular mechanism of lymph node metastasis, and change therapeutic approaches to treating cancer metastasis.
