Review in Nature reviews. Clinical oncology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 152 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

All human cells, including cancer cells, need oxygen and nutrients to survive. A widely used strategy to combat cancer is therefore the starvation of tumor cells by cutting off the blood supply of tumors. Clinical experience indeed shows that tumor progression can be delayed by anti-angiogenic agents. However, emerging evidence indicates that in certain experimental conditions, hypoxia as a result of pruning of the tumor microvasculature can promote tumor invasion and metastasis, although these findings are contextual and debated. Genetic studies in mice unveiled that vascular-targeting strategies that avoid aggravation of tumor hypoxia or even promote tumor oxygenation might prevent such an invasive metastatic switch. In this article, we will discuss the emerging link between hypoxia signaling and the various steps of metastasis.
