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

Tumor growth and progression are the products of complex signaling networks between different cell types within the tumor and its surrounding stroma. In particular, established tumors are known to stimulate an inflammatory reaction via the secretion of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors that favor the recruitment of a range of infiltrating immune cell populations into the tumor microenvironment. While potentially able to exert tumor control, this inflammatory reaction is typically seized upon by the tumor to promote its own growth and progression towards metastasis. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding how an established tumor can initiate an inflammatory response via the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-6 and IL-8, and their roles in cancer metastasis. In particular, the role of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a phenotypic switch observed in carcinomas that promotes progression towards metastasis, is discussed here in relation to cancer inflammation.
