Detection of circulating tumor cells: Clinical relevance of a novel metastatic tumor marker.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Most cancer-related deaths are caused by the hematogenous spread of cancer cells to distant organs and their subsequent metastasis. During the early stages of the metastatic cascade, cancer cells disseminate from the primary site via the lymphatic vessels and/or by hematogenous routes. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), cancer cells that have disseminated into the systemic circulation, may be a predictor of poor prognosis in several carcinomas. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the blood-borne dissemination of cancer cells may help to clarify the process of metastasis and provide a powerful and non-invasive approach for anticancer treatments that are tailored to individual patients.
