Pre-Metastatic Niche Formation Has Taken Its TOLL.
Article in Cancer cell, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pre-Metastatic Niches (PMNs) result from communications between primary tumors and the microenvironment of future distant metastasis via tumor-derived factors. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Liu et al. show that TLR3 activation in lung epithelial cells by tumor exosomal RNAs triggers neutrophil recruitment, which contributes to PMN formation and metastasis.
