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

The tumor microenvironment harbors cancer-associated fibroblasts that function as major modulators of cancer progression. Here, we assessed to which extent distinct cancer-associated fibroblast subsets impact mammary carcinoma growth and cancer cell stemness in an orthotopic murine model. We found that fibroblasts expressing the Cre recombinase under the control of the interleukin 7 promoter occupied mainly the tumor margin where they physically interacted with tumor cells. Intratumoral ablation of interleukin 7-expressing fibroblasts impaired breast tumor growth and reduced the clonogenic potential of cancer cells. Moreover, cDNA expression profiling revealed a distinct oncogenic signature of interleukin 7-producing fibroblasts. In particular,
