SNAIL1 action in tumor cells influences macrophage polarization and metastasis in breast cancer through altered GM-CSF secretion.
Article in Oncogenesis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
The EMT inducer SNAIL1 regulates breast cancer metastasis and its expression in human primary breast tumor predicts for poor outcomes. During tumor progression SNAIL1 has multiple effects in tumor cells that can impact metastasis. An inflammatory tumor microenvironment also impacts metastasis and recently SNAIL1 has been implicated as modulating the secretion of cytokines that can influence the tumor immune infiltrate. Using a spontaneous genetic model of breast cancer metastasis and syngeneic orthotopic transplant experiments we show that the action of SNAIL1 in primary breast tumor cells is required for breast tumor growth and metastasis. It does so, in part, by regulating production of GM-CSF, IL1α, IL-6, and TNFα by breast cancer cells. The SNAIL1-dependent tumor cell secretome modulates the primary tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization. GM-CSF alone modulates TAM polarization and impacts breast cancer metastasis in vivo. This study highlights another role for breast tumor SNAIL1 in cancer progression to metastasis-modulation of the immune microenvironment of primary breast tumors.
