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

Tumors are highly complex tissues composed of neoplastic cells and different kinds of stromal cells. Tumor stromal cells, especially fibroblasts, play important roles during the multistep development of tumors. In this review, the two-faced characteristics of tumor stromal fibroblasts are discussed in the light of our current knowledge. For one thing, fibroblasts act as an "inflammation regulator" by secretion of cytokines and regulation of tumor immunity; for another, they act as a "damage healer" for cure of wounds by remodeling extracellular matrix or taking a part in the "foreign body reaction". Since the properties of fibroblasts are complicated, both aspects of fibroblasts for tumor development should be considered carefully in clinical studies to target cancer-associated fibroblasts.
