Prostaglandins in cancer cell adhesion, migration, and invasion.
Article in International journal of cell biology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 73 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Prostaglandins exert a profound influence over the adhesive, migratory, and invasive behavior of cells during the development and progression of cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin E(2) synthase-1 (mPGES-1) are upregulated in inflammation and cancer. This results in the production of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), which binds to and activates G-protein-coupled prostaglandin E(1-4) receptors (EP(1-4)). Selectively targeting the COX-2/mPGES-1/PGE(2)/EP(1-4) axis of the prostaglandin pathway can reduce the adhesion, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Once stimulated by prostaglandins, cadherin adhesive connections between epithelial or endothelial cells are lost. This enables cells to invade through the underlying basement membrane and extracellular matrix (ECM). Interactions with the ECM are mediated by cell surface integrins by "outside-in signaling" through Src and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and/or "inside-out signaling" through talins and kindlins. Combining the use of COX-2/mPGES-1/PGE(2)/EP(1-4) axis-targeted molecules with those targeting cell surface adhesion receptors or their downstream signaling molecules may enhance cancer therapy.
